Best ways to cook pork: Pork chop recipes
Vineyard Glazed Pork Chops
Pork chops are a weeknight favourite in many Canadian households and this simple treatment not only makes them succulently glazed but also incorporates the healthy benefits of grape juice.
Smothered Pork Chops
Serve these pork chops with mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles to soak up the rich gravy.
Sauerkraut-Stuffed Pork Chops with Fried Apples
Hearty and warming, this dish has an attractive, colourful appearance and a sophisticated yet down-home taste.
Best ways to cook pork: Ham recipes
Baked Glazed Ham on the Bone
In Canada, smoked ham is generally easily available, and it's convenient because you buy it fully cooked. Cured ham, which is available at many ethnic butchers, requires one to two days desalting by soaking in changes of cold water, then three to four hours of simmering in a large pot until tender.Spinach, Ham and Cheese Pies
A lively filling is tucked into a rich dough for these small empanada-like pies you can eat out of hand.
Dijon-Maple Glazed Ham
Glazed hams make impressive centrepieces for any table and the leftovers can make meal preparation later in the week much easier, too. This particular glaze is flavourful and glossy.
Best ways to cook pork: Pork roast recipes
Braised Pork Roast with Fennel and Carrots
Slowly braising the roast on the bone keeps this pork juicy and lets the flavourful seasonings meld into the sauce for delectable results. If possible, avoid pork labelled “seasoned” (which has been injected with brine) and try to find a roast with a thin outside layer of fat to help keep the meat moist.
Roast Pork with Pineapple
This dish achieves the classic Thai balance of sweet, sour, savoury and bitter flavours. Impress your guests with this beautifully fragrant roast surrounded by spiced pineapple slices.
Roast Rack of Pork with Prune Stuffing
Prune-stuffed pork roast is made, with many variations, throughout Scandinavia. This is our version with a simple pan gravy. Get your butcher or grocery store meat counter to prepare an eight-rib roast from the smaller rib end so each serving is one chop.
Best ways to cook pork: Pork Kabob recipes
Jerk Pork Kabobs
Hot and spicy jerk seasoning has become the emblem of Jamaican cuisine. Usually whole pork shoulders are jerked and spit-barbecued, but kabobs are easier to prepare and serve.
Pork-and-Pepper Kabobs
To maintain the health benefits of these kabobs, check the label and choose pork that hasn't been “seasoned,” an unfortunate brining method now common in supermarket pork.
Best ways to cook pork: Pork tenderloin recipes
Italian Pork Tenderloin Brochettes
With these roasted brochettes, you end up with perfectly cooked pork tenderloin and crispy seasoned bread – on a skewer.
Fennel Seed Pork Tenderloin with Onions
Serve with garlic spaghetti, and a tomato and lettuce leaf salad dressed with olive oil and lemon juice and sprinkled with chopped fresh mint.
Grilled Pork Tenderloin Steaks with Gorgonzola
Lean pork tenderloin benefits from quick, hot cooking, so pounding it into steaks makes good sense. The Gorgonzola cheese melts over the meat for an instant and elegant sauce. For a mild taste, choose sweet (dolce) Gorgonzola.
Best ways to cook pork: Pulled pork recipes
Chinese Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Hot and Sour Napa Cabbage
In parts of Southern China and in Taiwan, sandwiches of braised pork belly and pickled mustard greens are served in steamed buns – the inspiration for this East-meets-West treat.
Maple Mustard Pulled Pork
This pulled-pork sandwich is flavoured with a trio of ingredients that Canada produces more of than any other place in the world: maple syrup, mustard seed and, of course, Canadian rye whisky.
Best ways to cook pork: Pork ribs recipes
Barbecued Garlic Ribs
These toothsome ribs are great for a weeknight because they need marinate for only a short time. Grilled vegetables on the side work well with the ribs.
Whisky Sour Ribs
The sweet caramel taste of bourbon and tart lemon makes these doused ribs irresistible.
Best ways to cook pork: Pork stew recipes
Quick Pork Stew
This flavourful stew cooks in less than 10 minutes because we use tender, quick-cooking pork tenderloin. Serve with peas, carrots and mashed or boiled potatoes or buttered noodles for a special weeknight supper.
Thai Pork Stew with Parsnips
In Thailand, this type of sweet pork stew often includes hard-cooked eggs and bamboo shoots. Here we bring it home with our own northern root vegetable, parsnips. If fish sauce is unavailable, you can use light soy sauce.
30-Minute Cuban Pork Stew
Simmering less tender cuts of meat for long periods makes a succulent stew but here we use a tender cut for a quick meal.
