Pork

Basic Gravy Recipe

  • by
The other day, I did a chicken on the rotisserie, which is a great way to cook a healthy meal as all the fat drips right off and away from the meat, drippings which make for an excellent gravy that’s quick and easy to make. Mashed potatoes go great with barbecue chicken, so I decided to whip up some quick gravy with what I had in the cupboard.  You can sub-out the chicken drippings for beef or pork to make fresh gravy any time and you can see how easy it is to make once you know the basics. Use this recipe to help you make gravy for the first time.

Shredded Kalua Pork

True Kalua Pork is cooked in a really neat way.  It’s done by building an underground fire-pit then placing rocks in the fire to allow them to heat up.  The after seasoning a pig and wrapping it with Banana and Ti Leaves, its buried in the pit and left for 6-12 hours until the meat is cooked and tender.  Then it’s shredded to allow the flavors to blend and served. This recipe is how most commercial restaurants cook their Kalua Pork without the need for a large fire pit.

Southern Smothered Pork Chops

So since today, Paula Deen came out about having diabetes, whodda thunk, I figured I’d highlight 2 recipes of hers that I’m a big fan of. Neither of these require a ton of butter or butter cream, and are actually somewhat healthy and really tasty.

Pork Loin with a Mango Chutney

Pork loin is a great dinner idea. You can cook pork in so many different ways and styles that it is a perfect medium to try and play around with flavors. This is a recipe I seen that sounded pretty tastey, and the mango chutney gives you a fresh option instead of the usual BBQ sauce.
