Pork (or Venison) Schnitzel

Cafe Mozart is a restaurant that was started in Durand, Wisconsin in 1987 by Eva-Maria Coughlin and her husband George. Their specialty was German cuisine. I had this when I was visiting my brother-in-law in Ohio this summer. His brother Dean came over and made this Pork Schnitzel. It was outstanding, everyone loved it. The key to this particular recipe is to marinate the meat in the fridge overnight in lemon juice, olive oil, thyme, bay leaf, which is rubbed into the meat. The meat is pounded thin, then dredged in flour, dipped in beaten eggs, and coated with breadcrumbs. It is then fried in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. It's incredibly tender and delicious.

Pork Tenderloin Medallions in Lemon-Mustard Sauce

Pork Tenderloin Medallions in Lemon-Mustard Sauce is delicious and easy to make and is a perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and juicy, and the sauce is light and flavorful. It’s also relatively healthy, as it is low in fat and calories. The sauce would work on chicken as well.

Meatloaf Roll

This is Nadiya Hussain’s Meatloaf Roll. We watched an episode of her show on Netflix and my husband made it the next day. I really don't like meatloaf, but I have to say it is outstanding. It is a hybrid of three British classics: beef Wellington, sausage roll, and Scotch egg. Her trick is to brush the puff pastry with watered-down marmite before wrapping it around the meat, which gives it a subtle umami flavor. You can make it ahead of time and bake later in the day.

Black Pig’s Smokey Scamorza Pork Sandwich with Fennel Apple Slaw

This is another recipe from Borough Market in London. My daughter Zoe gave it another rave review. She came over and described it and I just happened to have a pork shoulder in the fridge. Not sure what I was planning on doing with it, but this seemed like kismet. So we made the Black Pig's Smokey Scamorza Pork Sandwich with Fennel Apple Slaw. Yes, I know, you're thinking that sounds rather involved! It's actually not all that much work, though you do need about 5 hours to roast the pork. I actually did it in my slow cooker. The Black Pig does them on a Big Green Egg, which  I happen to have, but was to lazy to embark. This recipe uses Scamorza cheese, which is a tad difficult to procure and rather pricey. You can substitute mozzarella. Anyway, the combination of the fennel apple slaw, the pork and cheese is outstanding. Oh, and it gets smothered in Parmesan to serve.

Rosemary-Brined Pork Chops with Apples and Potatoes

After finishing all 3 seasons of The Lost Kitchen, I am a little obsessed with Erin French. I suppose my love for Maine also fueled the fire. I know this is a rather autumnal recipe, but I made Rosemary-Brined Pork Chops with Apples and Potatoes. By brining the meat for 24 to 36 hours, it insures these pork chops will be juicy and flavorful. This is served with sautéed apples, shallots, potatoes, and rosemary.

Sloppy Ottos

Anyone that knows me well, knows that I make the best sloppy joes ever. It's a fact. I have been cooking lunch at a school since 2004 and I made sloppy joes on the first day. I feel like I "hooked" them! Though over the years, many kids are dubious. They don't like the fact that there are little green bits (green peppers) in them. I wised up and cut them up VERY small. Anyway, this is going way off on a tangent! I saw this recipe for Sloppy Ottos, which is a different version. It involves sausage and sauerkraut and the pretzel bun, which is the new thing. I have to say, they were really good and my Dad approved.

Pork Chop Shop with Sweet Potato Mash and Spinach

When I was recently at my daughter Grace's house I was in her kitchen watching her cook us dinner (one of my favorite pass times!), I saw Snoop Dogg's From Crook to Cook cookbook on her shelves. It's actually her roommate's book. I leafed through it and made his Pork Chop Shop with Sweet Potato Mash and Spinach. The recipe looks like a long process, but it's not. The lemony spinach works really well with the sweet potato mash and the barbecue sauce is divine.

I love his long friendship with Martha Stewart and their show Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party. Gee, I wonder what they have in common?!

Roasted Pork Tenderloin

Truth be told, I am not a big meat eater, though when it's good I'm in. My brother David gave me this MEATER+ intuitive meat thermometer and I tested it out on this Roasted Pork Tenderloin. It takes all the guesswork out of cooking meat. You choose the cut and the temperature (rare, medium, well, etc.) and it does the rest all on your smartphone. Anyway, this has a delicious rub and is doused with a sauce. I have to say, it was perfectly tender and juicy.

Old-School Pork Chops with Apple and Sage

These Old-School Pork Chops with Apple and Sage is another Jamie Oliver recipe. The chops are finished off with a bit of Stilton cheese on top (you could also use blue cheese or gorgonzola), which elevates it to a whole new level.
