For his supremely tender pork shoulder, Greenhouse Tavern chef Jonathon Sawyer marinates the meat overnight, poaches it for eight hours in pork fat, then presses it down under a weight overnight. Then he serves the meat with a mix of three wild mushrooms—chanterelle, lobster and chicken—all sautéed in pork juices and pork fat. The recipe here is considerably simpler: It requires marinating pork overnight before roasting, then pairing the meat with shiitake mushrooms sautéed in olive oil.

Cardamom, brown sugar, blueberries, and gin come together for a surprising, yet delicious, sauce for quick-cooking pork tenderloin.

These fragrant braised ribs inspired by classic Indian vindaloo are fall-off-the-bone tender.

At a recent dinner showcasing kitchen sustainability, chef Jonathan Waxman taught us a new trick for using up leftover brine from a jar of olives—make it into a marinade. Here, we’ve combined it with sage and lemon to punch up your weeknight pork tenderloin.

Pre-seasoning the pork belly with salt not only flavors the meat itself, but creates a crispy crust, while dry white wine helps balance the richly fatty meat. Save rendered fat for searing vegetables or making onion confit.

This pork hominy stew, also known as pozole, is a delicious southwestern delicacy. I moved it to the slow cooker so it can simmer away on its own. The rich, brothy soup is delicious, much like a tamale in a bowl.

Pork simmers with jalapenos, onion, green enchilada sauce and spices in this flavor-packed Mexican dish. It is fantastic on its own or stuffed in a warm tortilla with sour cream, grated cheese or olives on the side.

Serving this entree salad gives me hope that warmer days aren't too far off. If strawberries aren't in season yet, use thawed frozen in place of fresh.

I like how grilled pork and fruit bring out the best in each other. If you have leftover relish, break out the tortilla chips!
