Pork recipes

48 recipes

Here are my pork recipes — with loin, neck, ribs, belly, knuckle, ham, bacon and salo. A good place to start is ojakhuri, pork neck and veal baked with potatoes and peppers, or French-style pork loin under a cheese crust, ready in 45 minutes.

How I cook pork

Fatty cuts get time: I boil a pork knuckle in dark beer with spices and vegetables and only then roast it, and bigos with pork ribs, fresh cabbage, sauerkraut and prunes takes two and a half hours. Lean tenderloin is quicker — pork tenderloin with cherry sauce and red wine takes 1 hour 10 minutes.

If you want soup

Kapusniak with sauerkraut and smoked pork, pea soup with smoked ribs and green borscht with sorrel and egg on pork rib broth.

If it’s for a festive table

Buzhenina — a large piece of pork marinated in dark beer and baked in foil, pork belly roasted with garlic and kholodets from pork trotters, hock and beef.
