Pork Carnitas
An incredibly simple recipe for braised pork carnitas that delivers a huge punch of flavor.
Purple Pinto Eater
A delicious stewy Italian soup made from homemade pasta and the elusive fresh shelling beans, in this case purple-tinged rattlesnake beans.
Stuck on You
The June 2009 Daring Cooks challenged featured potstickers or gyoza with homemade wrappers, and allowed me to work on my pleating technique.
Thanks for the Carrots, Molly
This recipe pairs ancho-rubbed pork tenderloins with scallion corn muffins and honey-roasted carrots, using a method that allowed me to enjoy cooked carrots for the first time.
Love Takes Time
A lovingly crafted Valentine's Day meal of cannelloni with slow-cooked ragu bolognese, fresh pasta, and homemade oatmeal-buttermilk rolls twisted into love knots.
Hawaiian Braised Pork
One of my all-time favorite recipes, a simple braise of boneless pork ribs that hits all the right flavor notes: salty, sweet, savory, and spicy. And it makes fantastic leftovers too!
Gnawing the Bones
Pork ribs with an Asian flair, first blanched, then fried, and finally braised, creating plates of sticky, chewy, aromatic goodness that made me a rib convert.
What Almanzo Liked Most
Pan-roasted brats with a creamy, sweet-tart compote of apples and onions; these are equally at home served over noodles, spaetzle, polenta or potatoes, and I have paired the compote with all manner of pork products.
One-Handed Pork Chops
Dinner took an unexpected turn when I burned my hand on a red-hot skillet handle (OW---never again!) while finishing off a recipe of mushroom-stuffed pork chops.
Skinning the Wonton
Despite my pitiful crimping technique, these homemade wonton wrappers perform admirably when transformed into pork potstickers.
Just Try Not to Think About It
Savory goat cheese souffles stay light as air even after deflating, and perfectly complement tender pork medallions with a mustard-caper pan sauce.
Golabki
Polish cabbage rolls stuffed with pork and served over mashed potatoes with a creamy paprika-tomato sauce.
Pork Chahps and Gahlic Sauce
Fresh sardines with pepperonata, 7-hour leg of lamb, and pork chops with a garlic-cream sauce.
Potstuck
My homemade potstickers may not be pretty, but they tasted better than anything we've gotten from a Chinese restaurant around here.
Pork Ricotta Meatballs
Slow-cooked pork and ricotta meatballs pack a huge flavor punch.
Making Inroads
Pork tenderloins stuffed with a savory mixture of mushrooms and leeks, and served with a port reduction and tangy goat cheese mashed potatoes.
A week in food
…but not so many photos. We have been eating especially well this past week, but I didn’t get pics of most of it. Last Friday night we had a (sadly unphotographed) crustless broccoli quiche. I’ve…
Braised Pork Chops with Tomatoes, Cream, and Porcini
This was the second time we’ve made these pork chops and they are really luscious. They do best with bone-in chops, as those stay moist longer than the boneless ones. We’ve served this with a…
