The neck was via Big Lou’s Butcher from Sloping Hills, and the cheeks were some of the last pork from Cutter Ranch that we prepped at Pete’s Meats. I grilled some neck in the summer and it was delicious.

Apparently, according to Roland, I came close to doing adobo.

The marinade was roughly as follows:

• 2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
• 1 clove minced garlic
• ½ finely chopped onion
• ½ cup chopped cilantro
• 1 Tbsp sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp miso in ¼ cup water
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp spicy vinegar
• salt & pepper

Served over rice.
