Deeli's Grilled Pork Patties

Since I usually only cook occasionally for one or two guests at a time, I place wax paper between the extra uncooked patties, place them in a Ziploc bag and freeze them for future meals.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 lbs. ground pork
1 egg
1/4 cup fresh Parmesan cheese, finely shredded
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 Tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 heaping Tbsp. minced fresh onion
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper

Directions:

Preheat grill to medium high.

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, roll into 8 equal sized balls and flatten into 1/2 inches thick patties.

Grill, turning once after 4 minutes, and cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F, about 3 to 5 additional minutes.

Okay, I just can't help tweak recipes ;-) In this case I've switched out the choice of meat for the traditional French classic of 40 Clove Chicken by using pork and added pasta to the mix. Don't be afraid of the amount of garlic used because roasted garlic is a mild sweet flavored out of this world treat and even any leftovers (what are leftovers?) are delightful!

Ingredients:

3 small garlic bulbs
4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 lb. fettuccini
1 lb. pork tenderloin medallions, small dice (1/3 inch cubes)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. dried sage
1/2 cup dry white wine (if using cooking wine, omit the salt listed above)
1/2 cup low sodium chicken stock
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut 1/2 inch off the top of each head of garlic. Place garlic bulbs, cut side up, each on a separate square of aluminum foil, evenly drizzle the 2 tablespoon of the olive oil over the top of each bulb, wrap each and bake until garlic is soft, about 45 to 60 minutes, remove from oven and let cool. Once cool use a fork to squeeze the cloves out of the skin.

Once the garlic has been removed from the skin begin to boil water for the fettuccini and cook al dente according to package directions, once cooked reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water and drain the rest.

While the water is coming to a boil, heat the second 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, add pork, season with the salt and pepper, cook until browned and cooked through, remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Stir the garlic cloves and sage into the pork pot and cook until fragrant, just a few seconds. Add the white wine, scrape up any remaining bits off the bottom of the pan, add the chicken broth and let the sauce cook, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by 1/3, about 7 to 10 minutes.

Return the pork to the pot, add pasta and parsley, toss to coat, "if needed" add the reserved cooking water a little at a time for a more moist consistency and serve.

Cooking Pork Tip

One of the best cooking tips I ever received, was from a co-worker and friend. He told me to get a pork roast, place it in the crockpot, and pour a jar of pickled pepperoncinis (juice and all) over the roast. Cook until the meat falls apart. He said to serve it with warm tortillas. You could serve with rolls. Good eating!

Using Leftover Pork Roast

Here are tips for using leftover pork roast from ThriftyFun community.

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Take your leftovers, toss 'em in the crockpot with a jar of salsa, and shred it up for pulled pork sandwiches. Cook on Low for 8 hours, or High for four.

You can also use a homemade BBQ sauce instead of the salsa; 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup sweet mustard, and 1/8 cup of honey or brown sugar.

By Althea

Add To Ramen

Leftover pork roast is very good added to the oriental flavored Top Ramen. A sprinkling of raw green onions in each bowl makes it even better. Some leftover green vegetables, like broccoli or green beans, are also nice in it along with the pork.

By Anna

Fajitas

I chop it up and season it a bit more with cumin, cayenne, taco like seasonings, and use it for fajitas. Also, if you have a meat grinder or even a food processor, grind it well, add some mayonnaise and maybe some relish for a yummy sandwich spread. Also, good, chopped up in scrambled eggs.

By Cavelady

Pork Stew

It is really good made into a stew, much better than beef stew. Potato, carrots, green beens, onion, celery.

Tacos

Makes great tacos. Chop of shred, mix with a little taco seasoning, put in taco shells or soft tortillas with lettuce, cheese, salsa, and sour cream and guacamole if desired.

By Linda

Breakfast Hash

Take the pork and cube it up along with a few medium sized potatoes. Toss them in a pan with some cracked black pepper, course salt, minced garlic, onions and green peppers (if desired). Cook until potatoes are done and onions are caramelized. Serve as is or topped with fried eggs for a breakfast hash.

Pork Barbecue Sandwiches

Use leftover pork tenderloin for what we call a 'Pork Barbecue'. Pull pieces of cooked pork into 'strings' (Keeping length about 2 to 2 1/2 inches). Pile into a casserole dish with a tablespoon of water in the bottom. Pour your favourite barbecue sauce over top, mixing pork around to coat nicely. Heat in oven at 250 degrees F till warmed and steam comes off when the top removed. Serve on buns with regular assortment of condiments you would use for a hamburger. Yummy!

Put shredded cheese, and bite-size pieces of your leftover pork roast in between the tortillas. Cook it on the grill or under the broiler until it starts to brown.

Take A Break Stew

Heat up the crock pot, toss in your leftover pork, a can of potatoes, one can of carrots, and whatever frozen veggies you want. Leave it for an hour or 2. While it cooks: TAKE A BREAK!

Stew

My stew: I cut the pork into cubes, add a jar of salsa and 1 cup of water, chopped carrot and one chopped and lightly fried onion. Slow cook for 4-6 hours and serve with hassle back potatoes or cous cous.

Also you can cook in an oven pot and top with sliced potatoes. Slow cook. Just before serving add cheese on top so it melts and slightly browns.

This is my tasty pork cobbler!

Stuffing Stuffed Pork Loin

I purchased corn bread flavored Stove Top Stuffing at the store and a maple bourbon marinated pork loin for dinner. My kids usually only eat stuffing under duress, so I tried making it look a little more interesting by "stuffing the pork loin". They ate it right up :)

I cooked the Stove Top according to package directions, then cut a slit into the uncooked pork loin and "stuffed" it. Then cooked the pork loin according to package directions. We served it with butternut squash from the garden, but I think it would have presented better with green beans or something a little more colorful.

RE: Using Leftover Pork Roast

Wow!! I would NEVER have thought up all those possibilities! With the cost of EVERYTHING going up, I seem to be buying the same meats each week - $.99/pound pork roasts and chicken thighs, a 3# tray of 80/20 ground beef and a pack or 2 of hot dogs/mild Italian sausage to round out the week. My pork roast goes in the crock pot for meal 1 and then the next day I puzzle all day wondering what to do with what was left....now I can just pull out these GREAT ideas and pick one!! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your recipes. (05/08/2008)
