I am gonna go the more tradition route far from the typical BBQ. I like home made sauerkraut with a whole pork shoulder that slowly cooks all day long on New Year’s Day. Nothing better then fresh mashed potatoes thrown in the mix. nothing better to kickoff the Bowl game for the new Year.

We love pork in this house. One of our favorite dishes is to get a nice thick bone in pork chop. We brown it and do it in a homemade white wine and garlic sauce. We use a whole bottle of white wine, as much garlic as we can get in there, some nice big round slices of onion, salt pepper, a bit of dijon mustard and a little bit of either beef or chicken broth. We quickly sear the porkchop and then let it slowly cook in the sauce in a dutch oven on the stove. The flavor is out of this world! We alway have nice crusty bread to dip into the sauce and serve it over rice and if feeling fancy garnish with chopped up parsley. we also put the sauce in little ramekins for dipping the pork or bread in. I’m drooling right now just thinking about it.
Melissa,
That sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing!!!
YUM!!!!!
Me too Chris!!
My late grandfather’s pork steak is probably my favorite pork dish. If you’ve never heard of a pork steak, it’s a St. Louis thing. Essentially, you cut a steak from a pork shoulder blade roast. Here is a link to a good picture, if that would help.

Anyways, it my favorite because it was the first thing I learned to cook. He taught me about grilling when I was six, and that was the first thing we cooked together. I’ve been trying to get his technique down ever since then, but I never can get it quite the way he did.
My favorite pork dish, is a good old porketta (or porchetta) with roasted potatoes. I have fond memories of gathering with friends and having porketta feasts. Whether it be for a bachelor party or a fund raiser or just a holiday supper porketta was always the crowd pleaser. Load with spices and big chunks of garlic, that tasty pork just melted in your mouth. I moved away from Masssachusetts about 8 years ago and every trip home always includes porchetta (most of the time, if it’s summer and lobster is in season, forget about it!) Also I have hardly ever seen porchetta outside of New England, unless I stumble on an establishment owned by former New Englandites.
I have a similar thermometer which was my souvenir for my second trip to the US. I didn’t understand that we have to place it to the chicken while it is cooking until I saw it being used in a movie.
in our family pork is a definite favorite, but personally wish it were not the other white meat but the marbled pork of my youth. my husband’s favotite is 4 3/4inch pork choops sprinked with salt , pepper ,and 2 tps tarragon and browned in butt in a skillet, appx.5 min each side. transfer to plate. add a couple of shopped shallots, more tarragon, 5 choped cornicons (little gerkins) 1 tbl. whole grain mustard, slowly add 1/2 cup apple juice, reduce then wisk in 4 tbls of butter and then chicken stock to gravy consistency. it is really delicious served over wide noodles. enjoy!
