BBQ Apple Pulled Pork
I’ve met only a couple people who eat meat and don’t like pulled pork—it seems to be a universally loved potluck or picnic dish. I created a version using apples and my Cider BBQ Sauce to create the familiar sweet and tangy flavors. Prep time 15 minutesServes 10 to 12...

Tangy Mustard Ribs with Balsamic Glaze
Here’s a different take on ribs, with flavors of Dijon and a tangy balsamic glaze. My rib-loving 7-year-old could barely contain herself when she saw these come out of the oven. You can serve them with a side of Rosemary-Garlic Mashed Potatoes or a big green salad,...

Deconstructed Egg Rolls with Toasted Sesame Cashews
Egg rolls are a popular Chinese food, but nothing fried in vegetable oil is a very healthy choice. I took the filling—a mixture of flavorful ground pork, vegetables, and seasoning—and cooked them together. To give them some crispy texture, I added water chestnuts and...
Pork Satay Stew
This dish is a spin-off of chicken satay—a common Thai-style appetizer made with strips of marinated, grilled chicken on skewers with a spicy peanut sauce for dipping. I had some cubed pork loin in the fridge, and I thought a stew version would be good to incorporate...
Caribbean Jerk Pork Chops with Mango Salsa
Caribbean jerk seasoning is typically very spicy—featuring habanero peppers. Feel free to use half of a habanero pepper in place of the jalapeño, but be warned—long, slow braising tends to intensify the heat of chilli peppers and other spicy ingredients. The mango...
