Italian Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

I've done the Italian Stuffed Pork Loin before with a full pork loin, but today I did it with just a pork tenderloin, cutting the filling ingredients in half. It cooked in about 45 minutes instead of over an hour, and was just as good :-) ...

Black Bean and Ham Soup

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Tonight I made my black bean and ham soup, using up most of the leftover ham from a couple nights ago. This time, instead of onion powder, I grated a small onion and sautéed it in a little canola oil. The fresh addition was nice, so I've rewritten ...

Ham and Brussels Sprouts

Monday, February 7th, 2011

An easy dinner tonight: ham and brussels sprouts roasted in the oven for about 40 minutes. The ham was a delicious apple and honey cured ham from the local Hempler's.

Tonkatsu, redux

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Dinner tonight was some tonkatsu (Japanese breaded pork cutlets) with Bunashimeji, aka brown beech mushrooms, stir fried in a little sesame oil, and a little green salad. A nice balanced meal :-)

Tonkatsu (Japanese Breaded Pork Cutlets)

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

Tonkatsu is a very traditional and popular dish in Japan. It consists of thin pork cutlets breaded and pan fried and served with a barbecue-like sauce. It's a very fast and tasty meal that I'll definitely repeat in the future :-) I just served ...

Aki’s Braised Pork Shoulder

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

This recipe comes from my local Central Market. They often have recipes near their weekly specials, and this one was a real winner! The only thing I changed was using about 1/4 tsp of dried red pepper flakes instead of whole dried chiles, as I could not find ...

Roasted Pork Tenderloin Stuffed with Honeyed Apples

Monday, October 4th, 2010

This is another great recipe inspired by Fine Cooking. Pork and apples are a time honored combination, especially for fall, and this version is quite good. I'm not much of a fan of scallions (the whole not cooked to death onion = migraine thing :-P ...

Beer Braised Pork Chops and Cabbage

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

This recipe was inspired by my bierock recipe (German bread dumplings filled with a mixture of ground beef, onion, and cabbage). Omitting the bread makes it a bit healthier, and pork chops seemed to fit with this method of cooking better than ground beef. The beer lends a ...

Layered Pork Enchiladas

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

With the leftover tenderloin from last night, I made these layered enchiladas. I cut up the pork into small chunks and browned them up in a skillet with a bit of olive oil, with the additional seasoning of cumin and chili powder. I then added a can of ...
