Instant Pot Mojo Pork

April 9, 2020 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Instant Pot Mojo Pork! This delicious Instant Pot recipe is easy to make and creates SUCH delicious, flavorful, juicy pork! I love to serve mine with rice and beans for a complete meal. It’s a fave! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Another HUGE Instant Pot win! This mojo pork is life giving. Pork shoulder is one of my favorite things to make in the Instant Pot because it takes SO MUCH LESS time than a low and slow oven roast, and it is unbelievably juicy, tender, and delicious. The way I make pork in the Instant Pot most often is with my Carnitas recipe, but this Mojo Pork might just be my new fave. And it is super ...

Crispy Instant Pot Pork Belly (Keto, Paleo, Whole 30)

April 15, 2019 by Annie Chesson 34 Comments

Um, excuse me - hello, beautiful. You are perfection in every sense of the word. You are absurdly crispy on top, fall-apart moist and juicy in the middle, and full of delicious, fatty goodness. I AM IN LOVE. I have only every eaten pork belly in super fancy restaurant situations, so I figured it would be crazy expensive to buy at the store. But for two big chunks of pork belly - two and a ...

You guys...I have been so, so, so, so, excited to start this series of Instant Pot recipes kicking off today! I've got eight coming your way, starting with these amazing carnitas that are too delicious for words.

Pork Shoulder and Roasted Tomatillo Stew

November 1, 2017 by Annie Chesson 9 Comments

And the new upcoming trendy food item of 2018 goes tooooooo...hominy! JK there's probs no way that's going to happen. I rarely see hominy used in recipes. In fact, this is only the second time that I've ever even cooked with it or tasted it. The first time was in college when I was following someone else's recipe, and it was a vegetarian chili verde. But now...oh man, the hominy bug has bit me ...

Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin with Apple Cider Sauce

October 16, 2017 by Annie Chesson 10 Comments

It's the middle of October, the leaves are starting to darken into oranges, yellows, and reds, the weather is cooling down a bit, and it even smells like fall outside. Do you know what I mean when I say that fall has a smell? I feel like every season has a different smell. Fall smells crisp and fresh and kind of like rain. Which most likely either makes you think I'm cray cray ooorrrr you know ...

Pork in Garlic Sauce

October 2, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Pork in Garlic Sauce is one of my all time favorite take out dishes. It's probs between this and lo mein for the top slot- it's hard to beat a good lo mein! But if I'm not ordering lo mein, you best believe there will be a steaming hot container of Pork in Garlic Sauce knocking on my door in 20-30 minutes 👅👅👅. The creation of this recipe is something I have toiled over for quite some time. I ...

Mini BBQ Meatloaves

April 17, 2017 by Annie Chesson 11 Comments

Even if these were gross, I would probably still be in love with them because they are adorable. Little meatloaf muffins 😍. So cute. Luckily they are not only super fun, but they are also very yummy! These little guys take no time to throw together, and they perfectly distribute throughout your standard muffin tin - it's quite satisfying, actually. I never used to be the biggest fan of ...

Marinated Pork and Pineapple Kabobs

February 8, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Okay, before we start, let's just acknowledge that I am posting a recipe for a GRILLED pork and pineapple. And the pork is marinated in a puree of mango (and some other stuff). And this is happening in February. The dead of winter. So before you go on thinking I'm cray cray, just keep in mind that I know this is a totally inappropriate recipe for winter, and it's screaming summer through your ...

Crispy Slow Roasted Carnitas

August 31, 2016 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

If you ever stumbled across this post from a while back, you know alllllll about my intense love of slow roasted pork shoulder (aka pork butt [aka Boston butt]). Rubbing all kinds of delicious spices over that delicious hunk of meat, throwing it in a heavy pot, and poppin' that baby in the oven to cook low and slow for several hours? My love language. There are not many things I love ...

Flavor Bomb Pork Chops with Mango Salsa

June 24, 2016 by Annie Chesson 8 Comments

Do you ever think that a specific place, area, or season tastes like something? Hold...let me give you a few examples before you think I'm cray cray. To me, fall tastes like Pumpkin Spice Lattes. The beach tastes like crab dipped in butter sauce. Christmas tastes like hot chocolate. My home in North Carolina tastes like Chicken Pot Pie and Baked Potato Soup. The school where I teach tastes like ...
