Probably the most famous anime food: Gotcha Pork Roast from Food Wars!
Gotcha Pork Roast Recipe
7 medium sized Yukon gold potato, cut into wedges
2 tablespoon butter
1/2 medium onion, minced
2 trumpet mushrooms, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
Salt
Black pepper
11 slices of thick cut bacon
Tw**e
Rosemary
Red W**e Sauce
240ml (1 cup) red w**e (I used Cabernet)
2 tablespoon (30ml) tablespoon sake
2 tablespoon (30ml) tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
1. Steam Yukon gold potatoes until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and peel the skin off once the potatoes are room temperature. Place peeled potatoes in a large mixing bowl and mash.
2. Heat a medium-sized pan, add butter, onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened and golden in color, and liquid has evaporated, about 9-10 minutes. Remove from heat and add to the large mixing bowl with potatoes.
3. Combine the ingredients in the large mixing bowl and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Be cautious with salt as bacon will add more saltiness.
4. Prepare a work surface and place Saran Wrap on top. Place the potato mixture on top of the Saran Wrap and enclose it tightly. Form into a football shape and refrigerate until cold.
5. Lay down pieces of thick-cut bacon on another piece of Saran Wrap, about 7 vertically and 4 horizontally, overlapping. Remove the potato football from Saran Wrap and place on top of the bacon. Wrap the potato in bacon and secure with tw**e and rosemary.
6. Wrap in Saran Wrap again and form into a football shape. Place in the fridge until ready to cook.
7. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet with a rack. Place the Gotcha Pork on top of the rack, seam side down, and bake for 40-45 minutes until bacon is browned and crisp.
8. For the red w**e sauce, heat a large pan on medium-high heat. Add red w**e, sake, and soy sauce. Cook for 5 minutes until the sauce reduces in half. Remove from heat and add cold butter, whisking together until it comes to a smooth sauce.
