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.

Marinated Brussel Sprouts
These Marinated Brussels Sprouts are delicious and healthy. They are made by marinating Brussels sprouts in a flavorful mixture of Dijon mustard, maple syrup, soy sauce, and garlic. The marinade helps to tenderize the Brussels sprouts and infuse them with flavor. I marinated these for 24 hours and then roasted them in a hot oven until crispy. You can also put them in an air fryer.

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.

Tennessee Onions
I have to admit, I had never heard of Tennessee Onions. It appeared in my inbox, so I thought I would try it. It's very simple to make and could be a side dish to any kind of meat or used on a burger. You use sweet onion like Vidalia. Vidalia onions are a type of sweet onion. They have a mild flavor, and a relatively high sugar content. This would also be great to put on the grill.

Filet Mignon with Mustard Cream Sauce
We have recently discovered a fabulous gourmet store/warehouse, which we have been to twice in two weeks! Anyway, I bought this "fancy" mustard and my husband made this Filet Mignon with Mustard Cream Sauce. The mustard that we used is Edmond Fallot Blackcurrant Dijon Mustard. They have many other flavors, which I will be experimenting with soon. Also, you should be using your good dishes and not wait for some special occasion or holiday. Why have nice dishes and cutlery if you are not going to use them! I think a filet mignon merits some fine china. I once cooked for a very hoity-toity lady. After the butler (wearing a tux, I kid you not!) let me in the back door, she asked me if I knew my way around fine china. Needless to say, I did not work for her for long.

Paprika Chicken, Eggplant and Tomato Bake
This Paprika Chicken, Eggplant and Tomato Bake is a recipe from Australia. I know it looks burnt, but it's just crispy and really delicious. This is so fast and easy to throw on a sheet pan. I just happened to have some leftover chicken thighs and a random eggplant. I cut this recipe in half for the two of us.
