Adela Slow Braised Pork Cheeks

Melissa would like to take a moment to teach you a little something about good meat.  Anytime you see cheek or belly on a menu you need to get you some!  The reason being that cheek and belly meat is ALWAYS tender, moist and flavorful.  This is true because of the high fat content in this cuts of meat.  Now these pork cheeks proved us right.  They were so tender and flavorful.  The chef even had the nerve to cook it so that portions of the skin were crispy and yummy.  His Perdo Ximenez Sherry Reduction gave the cheeks a maple and coriander flavor and smell.  It reminded us of maple breakfast sausages.  This dish was a pure delight.
