4 Reasons (recipes) to fall in love with pork

By TASTE, 31 January 2018

Not only is pork light on the waistline, it’s light on the pocket, too. And if you have pork mince, rib-eye or fillet in your fridge, you’re all set to make Phillippa Cheifitz’s best ever pork recipes (you’ll want to pig out on these moreish cider-glazed ribs!)

The bun

Cuban pulled-pork buns with pickled radishes recipe

It’s no hassle at all to make these mouthwatering buns when you use ready-cooked pulled pork. Woolies’ succulent Easy to Cook pork shoulder is slow-cooked until tender, shredded and finished with a sticky-sweet BBQ sauce.

“Pulled pork is an American classic - pork shoulder cooked slowly, then shredded and layered on a soft bun with sauce, pickles and slaw" - Phillippa Cheifitz

The ribs

The Asian salad

Pork larb with cos spears recipe

This Asian dish, originating in Laos, is really a salad using flavoured minced meat, chicken or fish, cooked or sometimes barely cooked, or even raw. Traditionally, raw rice is fried and ground for crunchiness but peanuts make a good substitute.

The curry

This is a typically Burmese sweet-and-sour curry without coconut milk. The recipe may vary between households but this delicious version comes from Nancie McDermott’s excellent The Curry Book (have a look at her blog).
