Pork Sugo

Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen.  Visit her full blog or find out more about her here.  Pork Sauce. "Ummm, pork sauce?" You might be confused. Let me rephrase it. Pork Sugo, it's Italian for awesome. Let me help you out. Pork Sugo is an Italian meal of pork shoulder that has been slow cooked with tomatoes. The result is fall apart pork shoulder and a decadent sauce (sugo) to serve with pasta (I also like to put it on sandwiches). Pork and Tomato Sauce. I hope you're convinced that this meal needs to be in your life. If you need a little more convincing I will continue. Pork Sugo is slow cooked goodness. I grew up eating a slow cooked pot roast once a week at my grandmother's house - you might have too. Upon entering her house, I always knew what we would be eating that evening because of the warmth of the oven and the comforting aroma of slow cooked meat - it greeted me like a big hug. Pork Sugo is also like a big food hug. Now, instead of my grandmother doing the cooking, I am. As an adult and a working mother of two young children I love a meal that can be prepped in advance and makes a ton. When I got my hands on a Smithfield bone-in pork shoulder at my weekly grocery session I knew it would yield lots of meals. 7 pounds is a lot. That's okay though, we have a freezer and need to eat three.times.a.day. I rely on recipes that make a lot to keep a stocked freezer. I placed the pork into my basket and pumped myself up to do some fat trimming. You see, pork shoulder is known for its fattyness. That is why they work so well when slow cooking and smoking. There's fat involved and fat equals juiciness and flavor. However, too much fat can be an issue and I typically have to trim a few layers off from a pork shoulder before I cook it. Not with a Smithfield pork shoulder. The pork was already trimmed and there was a perfect thin layer that covered one side of the pork. The hardest part of making Pork Sugo was already taken care of by the good people of Smithfield. The hardest part of this recipe was cutting the vegetables, and even that took only 10 minutes. Once the prep work was finished there was not much left to do but to clean up, boil some pasta and wait to eat. Add this meal to your recipe list and make it RIGHT NOW because...for a limited time, if you purchase a Smithfield Pork Shoulder at Market Street, you'll even be entered to win a $100 store gift card. Get the information below: Smithfield Tis the Season SweepstakesEntry dates: 12/11/2016 - 12/24/2016 How to Enter Receive an automatic entry every time your shopping purchase includes at least 1 Smithfield Fresh Pork product using your Rewards account at any Market Street store location (2 items in one transaction= 1 entry) Prizes Fifty winners will receive a $100 Market Street Gift Card Drawing Dates Winners will be selected randomly from among all eligible entries received during the sweepstakes period. A random drawing will be conducted on or around January 4, 2017. See full rules here.

This recipe is freezer friendly.   Ingredients: 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 5 teaspoons kosher salt 7 pounds bone-in pork shoulder 2 28 ounce cans whole tomatoes 1 1/2 cups dry white wine (I prefer Pinot Grigio) 1 cup heavy cream 1 onion, diced 2 carrots, diced 2 celery stalks, diced 4 garlic cloves, crushed 5 thyme sprigs, tied with kitchen twine fresh chopped parsley to top   Directions: 1) Heat the oven to 325 degrees. 2) Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven, over medium high heat. 3) Evenly cover the pork with 3 teaspoons of salt.

Cherry Chocolate French Toast

Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen.  Visit her full blog or find out more about her here.  Morning glories—those small parts at the beginning of the day where joy and cheer reside. Admittedly, morning is not the best time of the day for me. I’m groggy and slow to wake. However, I find myself surrounded by three morning glories (four if you count the dog) almost daily which makes daybreak that much better for me. Breakfast is the sunshine to their already happy start. It’s a meal that I have had to grow into. A cup of coffee with steamed milk is all I crave. They, on the other hand, will shovel as much food as possible into their systems to get their day rolling. I have grown into the role of morning cook in my (almost) eight years of motherhood. It started off with early morning feedings that evolved into 7:30 am bottle rituals that grew into pureed baby foods and then solid foods. Morning by morning I’ve nourished them to get their day started and I’ve come to love the mornings and their excitement for breakfast. This isn’t the typical Mother’s Day post where I encourage others to make all the mothers a beautiful spread of food to showcase the love you have for the women in your life. Today, I want to showcase what women do, day-in and day-out for the ones they love. They feed them… Physically Spiritually Emotionally Mentally A mother’s job is done in love every day. It comes in the form of embraces, words, chores, errands, silence—there are too many words to choose from that describe the doings of a mom. These actions feed the lives around them and that’s what makes mothers feeders. My mother embodied motherhood. She loved, played and worked hard for her daughters. Her devotion to us never faltered. Cooking was a chore for this lovely woman, but there were a few meals she would get excited to make. One being breakfast for her three morning glories. French toast was one of her specialties. I would remember her cracking the eggs and scrambling them up with a fork. She would always add ground cinnamon to the mixture and a touch of sugar. The bread would be dipped into the mixture and coated on both sides, then browned to golden perfection. We would smother the toast with syrup and smile, sticky faces and all. I see this same excitement with my children when I make them French toast. Every time I make this breakfast I think of my mom and the way she beautifully and lovingly fed her little family. This Mother’s Day I want to embrace the role given to me seven and a half years ago. I want to feed the ones I love. Strolling through Market Street, a job many of us feeders do weekly (or bi-weekly even), it is difficult not to get excited for Mother’s Day. The display of Mother’s Day gifts and floral bouquets is inspiring as are the fresh produce and baked breads. The newly arrived cherries beckoned me to whip up a cherry jam that reminds me of my grandmother and the fresh baked bread from the bakery reminded me of my mother’s French toast. This Mother’s Day I want to honor the woman who poured so much into me with a meal she cooked on several occasions. I grabbed the cherries, bread, eggs and half and half. I couldn’t resist the beautiful flowers from the floral department. These flowers will grace the table that I plan to serve my morning glories French toast on this upcoming Mother’s Day. No breakfast in bed for me today, I want to feed my people and tell them a story about a woman who loved so incredibly well.   This post is dedicated to my mother, Nancy Jo Johnson. July 1st 1954-April 16th 2018 Cherry Chocolate French Toast 8-10 thick slices of French bread 4 large eggs 1 cup half and half 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon cocoa powder unsalted butter maple syrup for topping cherry jam for topping, recipe below whipped cream for topping, recipe below   1) Combine the eggs and half and half in a large flat bottomed dish. Whisk until well-mixed. Add the salt, cinnamon and cocoa powder. Continue to whisk until the cinnamon and cocoa powder are thoroughly incorporated. Be sure to break up any pockets of cinnamon and cocoa powder. 2) Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter and melt. 3) Coat four slices of bread on both sides with the egg and half and half mixture. Place the bread into the skillet and cook until golden on both sides. Turn only once or twice to get the best sear on the toast. 4) Set aside and let cool on a cooling rack. Repeat these steps until all the bread is nicely toasted. 5) Serve warm topped with maple syrup, cherry jam and whipped cream.   Cherry Jam Author note: This recipe is easily halved. If cherries are not in season, frozen cherries also work, but require a bit more simmering time. Serve on your favorite French toast, biscuits, vanilla ice cream or PB&J sandwich. 3 pounds fresh cherries, pitted pinch of kosher salt 3/4 cups sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cinnamon stick   1) In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients. Stir and cover. Cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. 2) Remove the lid, stir the mixture and increase the heat to medium or medium-high. Cook for 35-45 minutes (the cherries should maintain a steady boil). Stir frequently to prevent burning. When the mixture is reduced, thickened and coats the back of a spoon it is finished cooking. 3) Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Store in the fridge.  Whipped Cream 1 cup cream 1/2 cup crème fraiche 3 teaspoons sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract   1) Place a stainless steel bowl (or the preferred mixing bowl) in the fridge and let chill for 15 minutes. 2) Once the bowl is chilled, remove it from the fridge and place all ingredients in the bowl. 3) With a whipping attachment, whip the cream mixture on medium until peaks form. 4) Place in an airtight container and keep in the fridge until ready to use.

Grilled Avocado with Fruit Salsa

As most of you know by now, our dietitians are helping you Color your Basket. January is all about green foods, and we can’t leave out the ever-popular avocado. This delicious fruit is a powerhouse of nutrition and can be used in so many unique ways! Avocados are a great source of the heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and are high in potassium and Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps build up your immune system to help fight off infections and sickness which is especially important during cold and flu season! With heart disease being the leading cause of death in the United States, there has been a huge effort to promote a heart healthy diet. As previously mentioned, avocados are full of the heart healthy fats, but they are also very low in the dangerous saturated fats. Evidence shows that replacing foods filled with these fats with avocados has heart-healthy benefits through lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. Also, avocados are naturally cholesterol and sodium free. This combination is a mega win nutritionally and for people looking to follow a heart healthy diet. Apart from being nutritionally good for you, avocados are also delicious and can be used in many unique ways. We personally love to create a delicious dip for vegetables or a whole grain chip. You can even get creative with avocados and try stuffing them with chicken, salsa, and cheese and then grilling them. Especially during the big game this year, this is a great way to enjoy snacking without sacrificing a ton of calories. If you’re looking for a sweeter version, try stuffing the avocado with a fruit salsa. This pumps up the antioxidant power of any meal! However you decide to eat your avocados, you can count on these to help protect you from heart disease. The more creative you are with it, the better!   Grilled Avocado with Fruit Salsa Yield: 4 servings Ingredients: 4 firm ripe fresh avocados ¼ cup olive oil ¼ cup honey 1 medium mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into ½ inch cubes ½ lb. strawberries, cut into ½ inch cubes 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar 1/3 cup orange juice 2 Tbsp. lemon juice   Instructions 1) Preheat the barbecue to medium-high (300-400 degrees F), making sure the grill is well oiled 2) Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the seeds. In a small bowl, mix together the honey and olive oil. Brush the exposed flesh with the honey and olive oil mixtures, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a cool place. 3) In a medium bowl, combine the mango, strawberries, vinegar, orange juice, and lemon juice. Let sit for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the flavors can blend. 4) Grill the avocados, skin side down, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the skin begins to lightly char and take on grill marks. Brush the flesh side of the avocados again with the honey-oil mixture and place them flesh side down on the grill for 2 to 3 minutes. 5) With a spatula, carefully remove the avocados from the grill and place them on beds of lettuce on warm serving plates, 2 halves per person. Fill the seed cavity of each avocado half with the mango-strawberry salsa. Serve with spoons to scoop out the avocado flesh and salsa. Read More

Color Your Basket with Eggplant Quesadillas

  You've probably seen this vegetable in the supermarket. Or you’ve spotted it on the menu at your favorite Italian restaurant in the form of breaded and deep fried eggplant parmesan. Well, did you know that there are many different ways you can eat eggplant? You can grill them and eat them as a side item, include them with your favorite stir-fry blend or use them as a pizza crust. The possibilities are endless! One of our favorite ways to prepare eggplants is by grilling them with some olive oil, salt and pepper.   The great thing about eggplants is they can be used as a meat alternative in any recipe because of their meaty texture when cooked. They have a very mild, but earthy flavor that combines well with most flavor profiles. This vegetarian quesadilla recipe utilizes the meaty texture of this vegetable and acts as a great meat substitute. You also get all of the wonderful health benefits associated with eggplants as well!   Did you know that eggplants are great for a heart healthy diet too? They are a good source of fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and other important phytonutrients which help promote heart health. The purple hue that you associate with eggplants comes from the anthocyanin content which is a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants are those compounds that go around removing harmful oxygen particles, or free radicals, in the body. Eggplants are actually ranked within the top 10 vegetables with the ability to absorb these dangerous molecules! This vegetable also contains a compound called Nasunin which is another anthocyanin associated with the deep purple hue. This compound is considered cardioprotective, but it does not lose its power after cooking. All of these qualities combined make eggplants a wonderful addition to any heart healthy diet! One cup (a serving) of eggplant provides 20 calories and 2.5 grams of fiber! We don’t know about you, but only 20 calories for a full cup of eggplants is incredible! You could eat 2 cups for ONLY 40 calories and you get 5 GRAMS of fiber!! That’s a hearty portion size for very little calories!     Erin’s Adobo Eggplant Quesadillas Adapted from the Easy Vegetarian Kitchen by Erin Alderson   Ingredients: Adobo Seasoning 1 tablespoon smoked paprika ½ tablespoon onion powder ½ tablespoon Mexican oregano 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon chipotle powder ½ teaspoon cumin 1 tablespoon brown sugar pinch of salt and pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil   Eggplant 2 small eggplant, sliced into ¼ inch pieces olive oil, for drizzling 1 ½ - 2 cups shredded Jack cheese handful of cilantro lime slices, for serving 4 whole grain tortillas   Instructions 1) In a small bowl, whisk together all the seasoning ingredients. 2) Heat a grill pan to medium heat. Set the eggplant slices on a large plate and drizzle of olive, salt and pepper. Place eggplant on the grill, and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until dark grill marks form. Remove from the grill and generously brush both sides of the eggplant with the adobo paste mixture. 3) Assemble quesadillas with the cheese, 3-4 eggplant slices and cilantro. Fold the tortilla over the toppings and grill each side of the quesadilla until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are charred on the outside (about 3 minutes per side). Press down with a spatula to help them along. 4) Serve with extra adobo paste, lime slices and fresh cilantro   Read More

Crispy Broccoli Parmesan Fritters

Most of us know that broccoli is a healthy option when it comes to choosing different food items to put on our plate. But do you know why it is considered a powerhouse of nutrition? As we continue through the color wheel, let’s focus on this all-star green food. Not only is broccoli low in calories, but it contains many essential vitamins and minerals that our body desperately needs. Just one cup of cooked broccoli contains as much vitamin C as an orange, which helps build collagen, form body tissue and bone, and helps our cuts and wounds heal. Broccoli is also a good source of several B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and vitamin K. Each of these vitamins and minerals are a vital part of a properly functioning body. For diabetics, broccoli is a powerhouse because of its fiber. Dietary fiber can also help lower your risk of diabetes because it actually slows down the absorption of carbohydrates. Our bodies can’t break down fiber, but it still tries, which slows digestion and allows the glucose (digested carbohyrates) to enter our bloodstream at a slower pace. In fact, the more fiber a food naturally has, the smaller the impact it has on your blood sugars. Fiber is a necessary part of any diet, not just diabetic diets, because as fiber slows digestion it keeps you full longer. And when we are full longer, we tend to eat less! Today, we have a recipe for broccoli parmesan fritters that even your kids will love! What’s even better is that you can substitute the almond flour for wheat flour, which provides you with a gluten free option. These tasty, baked-not-fried fritters are a great way to deliciously stash veggies for not only your children, but adults as well.    Crispy Broccoli Parmesan Fritters Ingredients: 1 large head, fresh broccoli (or a bag of florets) 1 large egg ½ an onion 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1/3 cup shaved Parmesan cheese  1/3 cup flour (can substitute almond flour for a lower carb option) 1 teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper Olive oil    Directions  1) Chop the broccoli into florets. Discard the hard middle stem, but chop the softer stems. Place the broccoli and stem pieces in a food processor and pulse a few times until the broccoli is chopped. 2) Add in the eggs, onion, garlic, flour, and Parmesan. Pulse again a couple of times until well combined (about 5 seconds of pulsing). Stir the salt and pepper through the mixture. 3) Form 8-10 fritters on the prepared baking sheets, making sure the fritters do not touch each other. 4) Pan fry in a nonstick pan over medium heat until golden on both sides. 5) Allow fritters to cool slightly before serving. Serve with ketchup, Greek yogurt, or fat free sour cream. Read More

Beans, including the cannellini beans used in this recipe, are a part of the legume family. Other legumes include lentils, peas, chickpeas, peanuts and soybeans. Legumes are considered a nutrient-rich food, as they provide a large variety of nutrients and only a moderate amount of calories. Beans are a great protein source, and can serve as a meat alternative. Additionally, beans are full of folate, iron, potassium and magnesium. A couple of things you won’t find much of in beans are fat, sodium and cholesterol, but we are just fine with that! The impressive fiber content of beans (an average of 7 or more grams of total dietary fiber per ½ cup serving!) as well as the nutrition facts previously mentioned make beans a great food to consume for reducing the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease. Fiber content helps to keep you feeling full, and it is also an important part of the digestive system. Along with the heart healthy benefits, consuming fiber can help decrease the risk for developing diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and gastrointestinal diseases! When buying canned beans, a low-sodium or no-salt-added variety is the best choice, as it leaves you in control of the amount of salt added to the recipe! Buying reduced sodium chicken or vegetable stock will also help lower the sodium content of this soup. Ingredients: 4 ounces bacon, finely diced 1 small white onion, peeled and diced 5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced 8 cups low sodium chicken stock or vegetable stock 4 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained 1 bay leaf 1 large sprig fresh rosemary salt and freshly-ground black pepper *for serving: freshly-grated Parmesan, 100% whole grain bread Directions: Heat bacon in a large stockpot over medium-high heat.  Cook until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a separate plate, using a slotted spoon, reserving about 3 tablespoons of bacon grease in the stockpot.  (Discard any extra grease, or you can substitute olive oil in place of the 3 tablespoons of bacon grease.) Add onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent.  Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Add chicken stock, beans, bay leaf, rosemary and half of the cooked bacon.  Stir to combine.  Continue cooking the soup until it reaches a simmer.  Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover partially, and let the soup simmer for 10-20 minutes so that the flavors will meld. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf and rosemary. Serve warm, topped with the extra bacon.  Garnish with Parmesan and serve with bread. Recipe adapted from gimmesomeoven.com Read More

Arugula Salad

Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen.  Visit her full blog or find out more about her here.  Do you arugula? If you don't, I hope I convince you to. It's crunchy, aromatic, slightly spicy and is perfect to eat in salads, warmed in pastas and even chopped as a garnish. It's the green I love most. Every single week, I grab a bag from the produce section and keep it in my fridge. This tasty green is a pleasant little pantry staple. Shallots, lemons, cheese, olive oil and balsamic vinegar are also kitchen essentials. It's these basic ingredients that help make meals on the fly doable. That's how one of my most favorite go-to side dishes was created...on the fly. Arugula Salad. The ingredients are nothing fancy, but are always in my pantry. And when combined they turn into "I can't stop eating this" salad. arugula chopped shallots grated parmesan fresh lemon juice olive oil balsamic vinegar kosher salt Toss and serve. If I'm in the mood to add more veggies(and they're readily available), I'll add cucumbers, tomatoes and pine nuts. However, these additions are not necessary. This recipe makes my heart skip a beat because there's little effort for huge reward. The arugula is prewashed, the cheese is already grated and the shallot is the only item needed to be chopped. Didn't pick up pre-grated cheese at Market Street this week? That's okay. It will only take a few minutes to grate your own. No shallot? An onion will work just as well. Run out of balsamic vinegar? No problem. Skip this step or use a red wine vinegar instead. If you prefer spinach over arugula, use it! Folks, this salad is versatile. The purpose of this salad is to remind you that a quick side dish can be delicious AND full of quality ingredients. It doesn't have to be frozen or from a box. Before you head to the store this week make a quick inventory of your kitchen. Is there a green in your fridge? Do you have a versatile vinegar and olive oil? Is there at least two onions and two lemons? Is there quality cheese? If not, add it to your list. When you walk the aisles of the store enjoy the delicious variety of the oils and vinegars, the colors of the produce section and the sea of cheese options. Grab a sample or two as well, there's always something tasty to try at Market Street... and they're always happy to share! So let me rephrase that first question. Do you keep a stocked pantry? You should, and make sure you include arugula.   Arugula Salad Author note: This salad is incredibly flexible. Add whatever bits of herbs and vegetables you have lying in the fridge. Nuts or a boiled egg would turn this side dish into a protein rich meal. Gruyere, manchego, goat cheese or feta also work very well with this salad.   Ingredients:  6 cups arugula 2 shallots, chopped 3/4 grated parmesan cheese 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil juice of 1 lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt   Directions:  1) Add the arugula, shallots and cheese into a large bowl. 2) Top with the vinegar, oil, lemon juice and salt. Toss well and serve immediately. Read More
