This pulled pork is covered in an orangey-sweet hot sauce that reminds me of the coating on Asian orange chicken. Many cayenne pepper sauces are paleo friendly, and it’s always exciting to find commercially-made condiments that are clean! It’s one less thing you have...
Pork Carnitas
One thing I love about Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine is how most dishes basically have the same ingredients, just rearranged and proportioned differently. If you have a few basics, like some flavorful, tender meat, a couple heads of lettuce, a handful of avocados,...
Shredded Enchilada Pork
I love this saucy, tender pile of pork. It needs no salsa or special toppings. It’s good as is, over a heap of Southwest Cabbage Slaw, or wrapped with a Paleo Tortilla. You may want to serve this with a little Simple Guacamole, because everything is better with guac....
Sweet Jalapeño-Pineapple Pulled Pork
Here’s another take on sweet pulled pork with a Tex-Mex flair. Pineapple and honey are such great complements to the pork and the jalapeños. If you have a lot of meat left, you can transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for a later meal. (Psst—all of the...

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...
Asian-Style Ribs with Ginger-Orange Glaze
This glaze. I can’t even begin to tell you how deliciously sticky, tangy, and addictive it is. It’s the perfect complement to these Asian-style ribs! Prep time 15 minutes, plus marinating timeServes 6 1 full rack of spare or back ribs1 tablespoon (18 g) sea salt1/3...
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,...
Sweet Chili Spareribs
Overnight marinating makes a big difference with large cuts of meat. This sweet chili paste gets into every nook and cranny on these ribs. They don’t even need a sauce after they’re cooked! Prep time 15 minutesServes 6 1 6-ounce (170 gram) can tomato paste1/3 cup (115...
Easy BBQ Spareribs with Potatoes and Carrots
I’ve only recently started liking pork ribs. Crazy, right? My dislike stemmed from chewy, gummy meat covered with overly sweet barbecue sauce on the ribs I had eaten in the past. Well, these ribs fall right off the bone and are covered with just-sweet-enough sauce....
