Food Pork - the other white meat

I try to make pork once a week. One week I cook a Hormel teriyaki pork tenderloin, my son's favorite. The next week I cook shake n bake pork chops, my daughter's favorite. I am getting tired of both of them and need new ideas. If you have a pork recipe you would like to share, please post it here! I need ideas!

 

I don't really have a pork fried rice recipe. I just cook the pork, cut it, and add it to a pan of rice/veggies/stir fry sauce.

I recently made a casserole with rice, veggies, chicken (or pork), cream-of-anything soup. I cooked the meat separately. Cooking the rice, I substituted the water with consensed soup + can of water. Add the veggies and cook for as long as the rice says it takes to cook. Add the pork maybe half way through.

 

This! We did a stir fry last night with pork mince (ground pork).

Like snowy, I tend to make things up as I go along. It was something like this:

1 Tablespoon of sesame oil
1 onion - finely chopped
4 cloves garlic - peeled and chopped
400gm pork mince
4 carrots, thinly sliced
6 spring onions - cut into inch long pieces
a cabbage finely chopped
2 Tablespoon Oyster sauce
100ml water
1 Dessert Spoon asian chilli sauce (quite mild - I have chlidren who aren't too keen)

Cook some basmati rice (we have a rice cooker, so this can go on before you start cutting up stuff). If you don't have a rice cooker, you're on your own!

Put the oil in the wok and heat.
Add the onion and garlic and fry for 1/2 minute
Add the pork and fry until it loses its colour (squashing it with a spoon/utensil can help to break it up and cook it more evenly) - 3 or 4 minutes
Tip in the oyster sauce and water, and mix
add the vegetables and stir fry for a minute or 2
put a lid on, and let the vegetables cook for 3 or 4 minutes (until soft)

serve with the rice.

My boys added sweet chilli (oldest) and soy sauce (youngest), but I don't think it needed either.

 

Do you have a BBQ grill?
Love me a pork chop (rib, bone-in preferred) seasoned with a little Gravy Master or other marinade, dropped on a hot grill, cook one minute, turn over, then cook til finished.
Goes well with all kinds of sides, including anything corn, bean, or apple based.

Also, you could do ribs, either brazed inside or slow cooked on a grill or smoker.

 

Great recipe on Skinnytaste. I put that glaze on just about f*cking everything now. Just the right amount of sweet and spicy, and takes all of 30 seconds to put together.

I get pork chops, I prefer bone in but had to go boneless this week. On the grill with montreal steak seasoning and that is that.

 

I love a pork roast on a Weber kettle with some apple or hickory chips for the smoke. Works pretty good with thick cut pork shops also.

Pork loin cut into half inch slices then hammered down to quarter inch slices. Marinate in BBQ sauce or whatever you want, or nothing at all. Then grilled. Makes a great sandwich.

 

I drive myself crazy with this shit. I end up getting up at 0630 on a summer Saturday to get the smoker going.
So after you pull the ribs off tonight how will you hold them? Room temp or into the fridge?
Do you feel like you lose anything by holding them overnight, versus cooking and serving fresh?
And will you sauce them again tomorrow?

 

I will definitely give this a shot over the summer.
Being able to pre-prep some BBQ would make weekends with friends and family a lot more funner!

 

I love Skinnytaste. I have tried a few things from there already. This will be next on my list!
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I can't wait to try every single one of them.

 

Alton Brown has an amazing honey-lime tenderloin recipe... I'll did the linky-dink when I get home. It's to DROOL for.
