Smoked Pork Shoulder

Smoked Pork Shoulder

Smoked Pork Shoulder Recipe

Barbecue joints usually use whole pork shoulders for pulled pork, but shoulders are hard to find at local grocery stores. Instead, pick up a bone-in Boston butt. A sprinkling of salt and some hickory wood chunks are all you need to get that deep, smoky flavor. Pair this basic pulled-pork recipe with the barbecue sauce of your choice, or make your own.

Grilled Herbed Pork Tenderloin Recipe

Puréeing the marinade in a food processor allows it to really soak into the tenderloin, giving it great citrus flavor. You can also cook the tenderloin in the oven–just allow for a slightly longer cooking time, and be sure to test doneness with a meat thermometer.

Grilled Pork Medallions with Farro and Escarole Recipe

This savory pork dish is both incredibly simple and versatile. Try swapping the escarole for a healthy green that happens to be on sale, such as kale, Swiss chard, collard greens, or even spinach. You could also switch things up by substituting bulgur, brown rice, or whatever whole grain you have on hand for the farro.
