Pork Chops with Tarragon Sauce and Cornichons
I was in this French bistro the other day up in Boulder, Colorado called Brasserie Ten Ten. Good food, good atmosphere, great wine. I had a dish there that inspired me to go home and make a similar dish for myself. I usually do not go out to a restaurant and order pork chops. However, this time, I took the plunge. I tried the Cote de [...]
Pork Stew with Hard Cider, Pearl Onions, and Potatoes
Pork and apples pair well together. The flavor of the apple complements and enhances the flavor of the pork. Whether you see a suckling pig with an apple in its mouth, or pork and apple skewers, apples are a great accompaniment to pork. This pork stew is no exception. You cannot beat granny smith apples and pork in a broth made from hard cider [...]
Veselka’s Cabbage Soup
I am a fan of cabbage in the winter. Vaselka’s Cabbage Soup fits the bill on a cold winter’s night. It is hearty, savory and first-class. This cabbage soup is similar to the Russian dish Sour Shchi or Shchi Kisliye, which is a sour cabbage stew made with sauerkraut. This recipe comes from Veselka, a Ukrainian eatery in the East Village [...]
Sausages and Pork Chops Baked with Fruited Sauerkraut
Sometimes you have a craving for pork chops. Then sometimes you have a craving for sausage. Sausages and Pork Chops Baked with Fruited Sauerkraut is definitely the best of both worlds. I was sated by the juicy pork chops and the mild flavored knackwurst. The fruited sauerkraut with prunes and apricots tie the flavors of the pork chops [...]
Spanish-Style Brined Pork Tenderloin
I love pork tenderloin because it is lean, juicy and tender. The Spanish-Style Brined Pork Tenderloin does not disappoint. The stand out flavor in this dish is the paprika (ground, dried red chile peppers). Paprika or pimentón is one of the essential ingredients in a lot of Spanish recipes. You would be hard pressed to find a menu in [...]
Pork Carnitas
This is one of my favorite Mexican dishes. Carnitas means “little meats” in Mexican Spanish. Pork Carnitas are rich, juicy and tender with the wonderful flavors of cumin, oregano, thyme onions, tomatoes and the subtle flavor of jalapenos. Carnitas can go with just about anything. You can eat it alone, put it inside tacos or burritos, and [...]
Maple Sugar-Ginger Pork Roast
When it comes to pork roasts, this recipe is a keeper. This has to be one of the best pork tenderloin roasts I have ever had (sorry mom). Pork tenderloin is usually one of the pricier cuts of pork. It is juicy and tender and marinates well. I was very lucky to find it at $2.49/lbs. The flavors are spicy and sweet. There is little zing [...]
