Instructions
  1. Put soy sauce, brown sugar, water, Asian sweet-chili sauce, ginger, and pepper in pressure cooker/multi-pot/Foodi. Stir to combine.
  2. Cut pork ribs into 3 pieces and place in cooker.
  3. Cook on High for 30 minutes. Give 10 minute natural release, then release pressure. Pork should be fork-tender. And tasty! Remove to bowl and cover.
  4. Spoon about 1 Tbsp of the hot liquid into a small bowl or container, and whisk in cornstarch.
  5. Set multi-pot/Foodi to sear, or pour liquid to a small pan, and heat to medium until boiling. Add cornstarch mix and whisk. Cook for ~4-5 minutes or until reduced to the desired thickness. Add port back to it to coat and heat. Serve warm on rice or rice noodles, or just whatever sounds good! Can add chopped green onion for garnish if desired.
Recipe Notes

Recipe adapted from:  https://www.tasteandtellblog.com/slow-cooker-pork-roast/

Can also cook for 5-6 hours on low in slow cooker.  Wold work for a roast, also.  In fact, I thought it was a pork loin roast, until it thawed and I opened the package.

Adapt cooking time as needed for larger pieces or different cut of pork.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Score fat side of pork roast in diamond pattern. Rub the entire roast all over with the oil, seasonings, and spoon on and spread the grainy mustard all over the top. Let stand for one hour.
  2. Spray your roasting pan with cooking spray. Place the vegetables into roasting pan and pour in beer. Place the roast in the roasting pan on top of the vegetables. Cover tightly and roast for one hour.
  3. Remove cover and continue roasting for another hour, uncovered, and check the temperature. It may need two hours, but mine was done earlier. It should be 140-160 (depends on how well-done you want the roast). It will continue cooking as it rests.
  4. Remove from oven and place on a large carving board; cover with foil and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and save the vegetables to serve on the side (or discard).
  5. Put some hot water in the pan with the juices, scraping up the bits and pieces. Add enough to make 2 cups. Make a roux by blending the flour and butter together very well in a saucepan; add the pan juices and bring to a simmer, whisking to blend well. For additional richness, the gravy may be finished with a little more butter, cream or sour cream. The gravy will be rich, dark and delicious.
  6. Slice the roast thinly and serve with the gravy. Refrigerate or freeze leftover slice
Recipe Notes

Save the bone to make a delicious bone broth.

Made it, but the roast I used had been chopped a bit - I cut off about 2 pounds for another recipe, so it was a little smaller.  And I made a simple beef gravy instead of this one, just because this was done early, and was sitting for a bit.

Check the meat after an hour - it should be 140F internal when you remove it - it will continue cooking when you take it out and cover it, end up about 145-150F, which is just done, not quite medium well.

Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients for the filling.
  2. To make the pastry, put the flour in a large bowl, then put the lard and water into a small pan and heat gently until the lard melts. Bring just to the boil and then stir into the flour using a wooden spoon. When the mixture is cool enough to handle, (it should still feel very warm) knead well until smooth.
  3. Cut off 1/4 of the dough, wrap in cling film and reserve for the lid. Roll out the remaining dough to a circle and then place in the base of a non-stick 20cm springform cake tin. Working quickly while the dough is warm and pliable, press the dough evenly over the base and up the sides of the tin. Make sure there are no holes. Fill with the meat mixture and pack down well. Roll out the dough for the lid. Place on top of the pie. Pinch all around the edge to seal the pie. Make a hole for steam in the centre, using the handle of a wooden spoon.
  4. Cook in the oven for 30 mins then reduce the heat to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and cook for 90 minutes. Brush the top with beaten egg and return to the oven for a further 20 mins. Leave until cold.
  5. Heat the stock until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in the gelatin. Leave to cool to room temperature.
  6. Use a small funnel to pour the stock into the pie through the hole in the top. Pour in a little at a time allowing a few seconds before each addition. Place in the fridge to set overnight.

Cindy’s Pork Wellington

 Cindy's Pork Wellington
This was adapted from a variety of recipes - see links for original recipes below - and is definitely a work in progress, but a good start! I think it was a bit rich, and needed more herbs, etc. I didn't have a onion - amazingly enough - and I wasn't able to find my dried, minced onion, and I think that was really needed for the pate.

Instructions
  1. Remove frozen puff pastry to thaw - it takes about 40 minutes, at least the one I used.
  2. Remove pork from fridge, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 400F.
  3. In a medium-high skillet, heat olive oil. Brown pork on each side, then remove from skillet and let rest and cool.
  4. Mix braunschweiger, cream cheese, onion powder, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper. Let cool in fridge.
  5. With one sheet of puff pastry, thaw per package directions and roll out on a sheet of parchment paper so that it is large enough to completely cover the pork roast. Lay the bacon slices on the rolled dough, so that the bacon also completely covers the roast.
  6. Spread the Braunschweiger mixture over the bacon. (I had originally cut slices in the roast and added some pate, bur I think that's too much, too rich). There will probably be extra - it's pretty good with crackers.
  7. Place the roast on top of the mixture, then use the parchment paper to help roll everything up. Tuck in the sides of the dough, and trim any excess. You can use the excess to cut fun little shapes to place on top as decoration. (I didn't have any left.) Cut slits lightly in the top of the dough but not going though the bacon.
  8. Use parchment paper to move the Wellington to a baking sheet, then put in oven and bake for 20 minutes. Recude heat to 350 and bake another 15 minutes, or until internal temperature is 135F for medium rare, 150F for medium. Let sit for 20 minutes before serving. Remember: meat will continue cooking for several minutes while it is resting, and resting is important!
  9. Slice and serve!

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork, lamb, ground round, cheese, egg, basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs. Using your hands, mix all ingredients until well incorporated. Use immediately or place in refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  3. Using a scale, weigh meatballs into 1-ounce portions and place on a wire rack set in a sheet pan. Using your hands, shape the meatballs into rounds, roll in the bread crumbs and place the meatballs in individual, miniature muffin tin cups. Bake for 17 minutes or until cooked through.
Recipe Notes

I changed from 1 1/2 to 1 oz meatballs, because they were kind of big.

Optional - original recipe called for the meatballs to be rolled in 1/4 C bread crumbs, but I don't think it's necessary, so I removed that.  But you're welcome to add it back!

Instructions
  1. Mix flour, garlic & onion powder, salt, red & black pepper in a shallow container for dredging.
  2. Put the beaten egg in one shallow dish, and milk in another shallow dish.
  3. Combine 1 Tbsp each butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until melted and oil and butter are shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Coat pork chops, one at a time, in milk, then dredge in flour mix, then coat with beaten egg, and finally dredge again in flour mix, trying to keep the pork chop completely covered with the coating. Place carefully in skillet.
  5. Cook for ~3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness, until the coating in light golden brown and slightly crispy, and you can see where it is starting to cook up the sides of the chops. Turn carefully to keep breading intact, and turn away from you to avoid grease spatter and burns. Cook another 3-5 minutes as needed, then remove from the skillet and cover with foil for a few minutes before eating. If at any time the skillet is without any butter/oil, or starts sticking, add more butter & oil as needed. Serve hot.
  6. OPTIONAL: If you have any burnt crunchy bit on the bottom of the skillet, you can stir in a few herbs or onions; deglaze with chicken or beef stock, water, or wine; mix in a Tbsp or two or flour, and cook at medium-low heat until thickened and ready to use as a pan sauce.

Instructions
  1. Cut pork with the grain into strips 1 1/2- to 2-inches long; put into a large resealable plastic bag.
  2. Stir soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, red food coloring, and Chinese five-spice powder together in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until just combined and slightly warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the marinade into the bag with the pork, squeeze air from the bag, and seal. Turn bag a few times to coat all pork pieces in marinade.
  3. Marinate pork in refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
  4. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  5. Remove pork from marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Discard remaining marinade.
  6. Cook pork on preheated grill for 20 minutes. Put a small container of water onto the grill and continue cooking, turning the pork regularly, until cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Recipe Notes

Some might like to add a teaspoon of Chinese 5 spice; I don't like the flavor myself. Red bean curd can be used in place of the red food coloring.

Easy and Delicious Mexican Pork Chops

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray (for baking dish)
  • 2 Tbsp oil (to brown pork chops)
  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 C water or chicken broth
  • 1 C uncooked long-grain white rice
  • ~5 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 1/3 C picante sauce (or half that, if I cook separate for Steve)
  • 1/6 C (8 tsp) taco seasoning mix
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced (get a small one)
  • 2/3 C shredded cheddar

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and black pepper, and brown them on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Set chops aside.

Mix the water, rice, tomato sauce, picante sauce, and taco seasoning in the prepared baking dish. Lay the chops into the rice mixture, and top with the green bell pepper slices. Cover the dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until the chops are no longer pink inside and the rice is tender, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Uncover the dish, and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.

Return to the oven, and bake uncovered until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 5 to 10 more minutes.
