Toad in the Hole

You know that something with a name like this is going to be good and this truly is! The traditional recipe itself is very simple but the method for making it is not, so I developed this "cold oven cheater method" which is much safer and easier. The end result is an amazing flavor and texture combination of juicy sausages, crispy, puffed, and tender Yorkshire pudding, and delicious onion gravy. And the gravy is so good you'll want to eat it on just about anything (and everything!)

Easy North Carolina Barbeque

I just love vinegar-based barbeque. I looked high and low for an easy recipe for North Carolina barbeque; this is it! Be warned; your friends will want the recipe. Eat it with a fork or on rolls with coleslaw.

Chef John's Paper Pork Shoulder

This 'paper pork' was inspired by a technique for smoking beef brisket that involves wrapping the meat in parchment paper after a certain point in the cooking process, in an effort to keep the meat moist and succulent. I decided to try it for an oven-roasted pork shoulder, wrapping it from the beginning, and it came out so perfectly tender and juicy, I've been doing it that way ever since.

Hog's Head Cheese

This is not actually cheese. It is a wonderful, spicy appetizer mold made of pork roast that is great served with crackers.

Braised Pork Ragu

A perfect make-ahead dish that is served best over Parmesan risotto, but is also great over pasta or potatoes! Lamb or beef can also be substituted and is just as delicious!

Big V's Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork

A wonderfully easy, exceptionally tender pulled pork recipe. The meat literally falls off the bone and the marinade adds an excellent flavor that can complement any BBQ sauce. This recipe is great if you're looking for a make-ahead meal. Pulled pork is great served on fresh baked rolls or pita bread with sharp Cheddar cheese and coleslaw. You can serve the pork as is or mix in your favorite BBQ sauce.

Dan's Fallin' Apart Pork Pot Roast with Cracked Pepper Gravy

Savory pork roast is first seared in roasted shallots and garlic, then roasted with veggies until it falls apart. Finish it off by serving it with some cracked pepper gravy. Add sautéed portobello or cremini mushrooms and sautéed chopped scallions for additional flavor.

Wine and Garlic Pork (Portuguese Vina Dosh)

Ahh, "vina dosh," this Portuguese wine and garlic pork recipe is my family's tradition to make during Christmas. The recipe started getting passed down more than 80 years ago when my grandparents came to America from the Azore Islands! And now, I'm sharing the recipe that was passed down to me with you. It's easy to make but requires a lot of patience to wait for the marinade to do its magic. But, oh so worth the wait! Serve it with Portuguese linguiça, a pot of semi-sweet, bacon-laced baked beans, and some Portuguese sweet bread. Hawaiian sweet bread works in a pinch. You can use white wine or red wine in the marinade.

Slow Cooker Apple Cider Braised Pork

This braised pork shoulder recipe combines pork shoulder with apple cider in a slow cooker, where it is cooked for several hours until tender. Reduce the cooking liquid to create a thick and flavorful sauce you can pour over the sliced pork.

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Orange Juice

'Discovered' this by accident when starting the pork butt about 10 p.m. one night (the butt was still partially frozen). Started with the basics, but decided to add the stone ground mustard and the orange juice on a whim. Husband loves it, so I must have been inspired.

Barbecued Pork Skewers

These BBQ pork skewers are perfect for summer entertaining. When you're in the mood for barbecued pork, you have two options: pork ribs or a slowly smoked pork shoulder made into pulled pork. But what if you want something different? In that case, these BBQ pork skewers come highly recommended. And no, we're not just sticking chunks of pork on a stick! This is way more advanced and way more delicious. Garnish with thinly sliced green onion and drizzle with extra barbecue sauce if you like.

Pork Agrodolce

Agrodolce, a generic Italian term for any type of sweet and sour condiment, really shines when used for braising chunks of succulent pork shoulder. This soul-warming comfort food is amazing served on rice, pasta, polenta, or, as seen here, a big pile of ricotta mashed potatoes. I'm not sure if Italians barbecue like we do here in the States, but the sauce very much reminded me of something we'd brush on a rack of ribs while sipping a cold beer.
