Pork

Ancho-Marinated Pork and Mango Skewers

Cubes of pork marinated in orange and lime juice, and ancho chiles and grilled or seared with fresh mango. Serve with steamed quinoa with green onions and cilantro and a green salad.

Double Fennel Pork Chops

Pork chops coated with fennel seeds and grilled or seared to the desired degree of doneness-we recommend medium. Served with braised fresh fennel.

Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Corn and Oregano

A roasted pork tenderloin served with slightly creamed corn, fresh when in season, and seasoned with fresh oregano. Sliced fresh tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and toasted pita bread complete the meal.

Porchetta: Italian Pork Roast*

This is the pulled pork of Italy: traditionally made with a whole pig that has been stuffed with rosemary, sage, garlic, fennel seed, salt, pepper and slow-roasted over an open fire to perfection.  Our version is made with a skin-on pork shoulder stuffed with the same ingredients and roasted in the oven for the same result: tender meat with crunchy skin.  The fat melts during the roasting process leaving the finished pork juicy and tender.  Serve the porchetta with a refreshing orange and fennel or hearty cannellini bean salad.  This selection will make any party or family gathering a huge success!

 Pork Medallions with Fig and Port Sauce*

This dish shows how well pork marries with fruit. Pork tenderloin is sautéed with fresh or dried figs, onion, port, thyme, and balsamic vinegar. Fresh sautéed or roasted green beans are a nice compliment.

 Pork Chops with Maple-Ginger Pan Sauce

Thin pork chops are seasoned in rum, chicken broth, and maple syrup, dredged in flour, and sautéed. Ginger and garlic are added to the pan and the resulting sauce is served over the chops. Serve with mashed or roasted sweet potatoes for a Southern accent.

Mu-Shu Pork

A Chinese favorite and so easy to make: shredded pork loin is sauteed with egg, cabbage, green onions, bamboo shoots and a few obscure Chinese ingredients.  Served with hoisin sauce and Mu-Shu wrappers, this is a great appetizer or complete meal with stir-fried broccoli and steamed rice.

 Tuscan-Style Garlic-Rosemary Roast Pork with Potatoes and Fennel

Roasted pork studded with garlic cloves and rubbed with olive oil and rosemary. The pork is served with roasted potatoes and fresh fennel. Serve with cannellini beans for a truly Tuscan meal.

Pork Scaloppine

A pork tenderloin sliced into escallops and sauteed with prosciutto, sage, and lemon.  Serve with orzo pasta and a mixed greens salad.
