Pork Roasts
To keep the island theme going, why not try the classic Hawaiian luau dish, Kalua pig? Traditionally cooked underground with steam, you can cheat a bit and simmer your roast in a slow cooker. When it’s done, shred, serve with rice and you’re good to go!
Across the border, pork roasts often become Mexican carnitas and couldn’t be easier to make. Just braise or simmer pork in oil or lard and serve alone, in tacos or tortas.
The world is full of deliciously unique pork cuts cooked in ways you may have never imagined. Find your inspiration with global recipe ideas at recipes.
