Pork Cheek and Black-Eyed Pea Chili

Pork Cheek and Black-Eyed Pea Chili
Go to Recipe

Michael Symon defines himself as a “porketarian,” saying he can’t get enough of the meat. For his luscious chili, he uses incredibly flavorful and succulent pork cheeks—an unusual cut worth seeking out. If pork cheeks aren’t available, pork shoulder (cut into 2-inch pieces) can be substituted.

Spicy Ginger Pork in Lettuce Leaves

Go to Recipe

Annabel Langbein often travels to Hong Kong to meet with the printers who work on her cookbooks. At a Cantonese restaurant opposite her hotel in North Point, she tasted a version of this dish, served with piles of lettuce leaves and bowls of finely minced squab for diners to make their own salad cups. In her riff on that, Langbein uses chopped pork instead of squab; the recipe is also good with any poultry.

Herb-Roasted Pork Subs with Garlicky Spinach

Go to Recipe

To create this outstanding sandwich, Matt Neal rubs pork shoulder with an herb-and-garlic mixture and then slow-roasts it for hours (“Forever,” he says). He piles the meat high with pickled peppers and spinach sautéed with garlic. One key to the sandwich is to slice the pork very thinly; to do so, be sure the pork is very cold and use a deli slicer or a thin, sharp knife.

Meat Loaf Stuffed with Prosciutto and Spinach

Go to Recipe

This luxurious yet easy take on classic meat loaf gets stuffed with spinach, carrots, prosciutto and cheese. The vegetables can be leftovers, says Mario Batali: “Just make sure they’re cooked long enough to be very soft—if they’re al dente, the meat loaf will tear when you slice it and wreck your day.” Mild and tangy caciocavallo cheese, made in Italy from cow’s milk, is excellent in the filling, but provolone is a fine substitute.

Ratha Chau makes the fruity glaze for these irresistible baby back ribs with tamarind paste and shrimp paste, which can be tricky to find. Here, we use mango chutney to re-create the sweetness in the glaze for the ribs, and Asian fish sauce to approximate the flavor of shrimp paste.

Crispy Deep-Fried Ribs

HD-201301-r-crispy-deep-fried-ribs.jpg
Go to Recipe

One reason these ribs are so impossibly good is that they’re braised for hours and then deep-fried so they’re supercrisp. The sauce—which includes ketchup and plenty of garlic—was originally concocted for chicken wings.
