Recipes with pork loin

A one-pot classic French farmer style meal. The layers of flavor are built up in one pot, a slow braise and top it off with mashed potatoes that are crisped under the broiler. YumO as Rachel Ray might say.

A 4-pound pork loin rubbed with allspice, roasted fat-side up, and braised in apple cider with turnips and potatoes. A Sunday dinner for ten that fills the whole house with warm, spiced aromas.

Madeira is one of the places where Christmas traditions are so closely adhered to that one really looks forward to the festa. Cooking preparations starts months in advance. It is at a time of year that the prize pig is slaughtered so that there is enough pork for Christmas lunch of Vinha d’Alhos.

Authentic Mexican birria with lamb, veal, and pork rubbed in a toasted ancho-guajillo-cascabel chili paste, marinated overnight, and slow-roasted until falling off the bone. Served with tomato broth, onion, and oregano.

One of my favorite Mexican dishes, so many delicious flavors and great textures.
