FROM PORCELLINO BISTRO
Porcellino Bistro, one of the Eugene’s newest campus-area
eateries, looks and sounds fancy, but you can fill yourself up with
food that tastes like fine dining for $10 or less. “Most Italian food
in Eugene is fine dining that is expensive,” says co-owner Evan
Woodward. “Here we call it very casual, Italian-inspired, with good
portions.”
For the owners, Woodward, 26, and Cody Verkler, 27,
Porcellino Bistro is their first foray into the restaurant world,
though Verkler grew up around his family-owned La Petite
Gourmet Bakery, and Woodward’s first job as a teenager was in a
restaurant. Woodward now teaches culinary classes through the
Network Charter School.
Porcellino Bistro’s location was previously a string of
laundromats and a tanning salon, so the kitchen space is limited.
They have no hood fan, and for a start-up restaurant it’s incredibly
expensive to have one installed, so that means they have no fryer.
Still, they make all of their pasta in-house — “just flour, eggs and

salt,” says Woodward — and they can do wonders with a panini grill.
“You can get really creative if you’re willing to let go of what you
think you can’t do in the space,” he says.
The bistro has been open since mid-January, and so far the
response has been positive, Woodward says. They are making
some small adjustments to provide their clientele with more
comforts, such as small plates for smaller prices, and adding a
vapor lounge after 9 pm with beer and wine. This slider recipe is
a new addition to the menu that will be available for fall football
tailgaters and game days.
1 tsp thyme
2 cloves garlic sliced thin
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/8-inch circles
PORK BELLY:
1 1/2 lbs pork belly
1 can of Coke
salt
PROSCIUTTO CHIP:
1 paper-thin slice of prosciutto for each slider
Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the
prosciutto is cooked and crispy but not burnt.
Coat pork in salt and allow to dissolve into the belly. Braise the
belly with the Coke in a covered pan on slow simmer until a fork
can easily be inserted. Allow belly to cool. Slice half-inch pieces
against the grain.
PICKLED RED ONIONS:
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 tsp oregano
Mix first five ingredients into a saucepot and bring to a boil
until the liquid looks brown. Pour the hot brine over the sliced red
onion. Note: It may not look like enough brine but stir the onions
every minute and they will cook down and submerge under the
brine. Allow to completely cool in the refrigerator.
SLIDER ASSEMBLY:
Toast a slider bun and coat both sides with aioli or mayonnaise.
Sear the pork belly on both sides in a hot pan until caramelized
and top with sliced provolone to melt. Place seared belly
with cheese on the bun. Top with arugula, pickled onions and
prosciutto chip.
