Skillet tender pork chops with fried potato wedges scented with fresh rosemary

An easy and rather fast recipe to enjoy with the family. Cooking the pork chops in the skillet in the way the recipe suggests you'll find that they stay tender and moist all the way through. On the other hand, the chunky potato wedges are nicely crispy on the outside and tender inside and you end up with a rustic and really delicious meal

Pork fillet stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes and Anthotyro cheese

Tender and juicy pork fillet stuffed with a couple of really tasty ingredients that the Greek cuisine honours very often! It is an all-seasons recipe this one and I believe that you will really enjoy it. Because of the fillet, the cooking time is not as long as with other meats so not too much hassle for you. The original recipe demands fresh rosemary, which I find too strong in taste and aroma and that's why I usually prefer fresh thyme or even better, fresh oregano which are more subtle. But if you prefer rosemary, it would be better if you turn it into powder and use it carefully. This dish can be served along with various vegetables but sautéed peas and carrots or steamed green beans I think are most suitable. It also goes nicely with white rice pilaf or boiled potatoes drizzled with lemon & olive oil dressing

Potted pork with root vegetables in avgolemono sauce

One more "comfort food" recipe to enjoy with the family before Winter waves us goodbye for this year! Tender pork cooked with various root vegetables and smothered in the famous Greek egg & lemon sauce, the avgolemono! This version is slightly different than the traditional one where only celery or celery and leeks are involved. Here we have more vegetables and the beautiful and delicate flavour of fennel seeds. As usually happens with this kind of Greek recipes, don't neglect to serve the food along with good quality feta cheese and plenty of fresh country-style bread to mop up the creamy sauce!

Garlic and fresh herbs-crusted slow roasted pork shoulder with pomegranate and grape molasses glaze

Delicious Wintertime comfort food for a special Sunday meal! The shoulder is one of the most tasty and tender parts of the pork anyway but in this recipe, as it is slowly cooked, it absorbs the sweet and sour glaze and ends up so luscious and moist!

PUMPKIN SEASON : Oven-braised pork with pumpkin and rosemary cooked in wine sauce

Rich in taste and ingredients this recipe is ideal for the Autumn and Winter time Sunday meals! Tender pork meat combined with the pumpkin, flavoured with orange and slowly cooked in the oven will satisfy you to the full!

MEAT WEEK 1: Baked pork shin flavoured with cumin and cooked in beer sauce

We really love pork meat in our family and I always try to discover new recipes and experiment with this, rather "misunderstood" in my opinion, kind of meat. In today's recipe we have the classic pork shin (or shank?) slowly cooked in beer sauce and mildly spiced. As you will see just a few ingredients are enough for this recipe! The result is really delicious and I think that this is one of our best Winter-time recipes with pork. The best company for it is a potato salad, a fluffy potato mash or for those who don't worry so much about calories a good portion of fried potatoes

MEAT WEEK 1: Baked pork fillet with smoked cheese and white wine sauce

Such a delicious recipe this one! Pork tenderloin cut into thin fillets and baked with smoked cheese which melts and gives such a wonderful taste! The wine sauce poured over adds extra flavour to the dish and you can enjoy it along with a salad, or rice pilaf or fried potatoes and enjoy with the family a really luscious meal! The original recipe includes the very tasty Greek smoked Metsovone cheese coming from Metsovo (hence its name) in Epirus region. I don't expect you to find this cheese easily abroad, but you can use another smoked, yellow, semi-hard cheese instead. A good substitute for this recipe is, for example, the over-a-flame smoked Gouda

Braised pork with green and dried beans

Pork is our favourite meat at home and always we try to find new ideas of how to cook it. We all know that nowadays any of the meats (or poultry) are not as they used to be in taste so you have to improvise a bit if you want to end up with a nice dish infront of you. There are numerous ideas around with recipes (traditional or not) that can offer a satisfactory meal for the family. Like this one here which combines two different kind of beans and it is a dish which you can have all year round

Marinated baked pork fillet with fresh figs and orange juice

A delicious recipe without much trouble to prepare since the pork fillet doesn't need much time to cook and the rest of the ingredients are not complicated at all. A recipe which you can cook anytime in the year since, when not in season, dried figs can be used instead but in my opinion the fresh ones make the difference in this dish. The same recipe can be followed using chicken wings or drumsticks, they are delicious!

Slowly cooked stuffed roast piglet

A delicious recipe for Christmas or New Year (although it demands time and patience) with the piglet meat melting in your mouth because of the slow cooking! Ask your butcher to prepare the piglet for you so to be easier to stuff it by opening the belly up. You could also ask to break the spine and take off the legs (from the knee down) so it can fit in the oven pan easier. You can also keep the piglet's liver to add it in the stuffing

Christmas marinated pork baked with quinces and potatoes

In Greece, up to 10-15 years ago (or thereabouts), the turkey was not so often people's first choice as the main dish for the Christmas table. On the other hand, pork was always and still is one of the most popular meats during the Holiday season (and not only). The recipes to cook it, countless!!! A year is not enough to cover the huge variety of recipes even if you'd cook pork every day! And when it comes to Christmas there are also so many different special dishes you can create with the pork that again you can't decide what to choose. Today we have another delicious dish with the pork as the main star and the recipe itself is so easy and without too much preparation so the cook of the day can relax with a glass of sherry while the food is merely happy in the oven! Quinces and potatoes go together well and accompany the meat in the best way ending up so tasty and mellow
