Pork Chops with Cherry Sauce have to be the perfect summer entree. The chops are tender and juicy (thanks to a brine), and the sauce is the perfect combination of tart cherries and sweet heat. Yeah, there’s a touch of jalapeno. If that’s not your thing, feel free to leave it out.
Instant Pot Birria
Birria Tacos (Quesabirra) were trending when I posted a recipe a while back, and still are, for good reason. They’re everything you love about Mexican food, plus more! Tender beef, luscious and juicy, lots of gooey cheese and crispy goodness, and best of all, dippable. The broth, consomme, that results from cooking takes everything over the top! And now you can make them faster at home with my Instant Pot Birria Recipe.
Easy Pad Kra Pao
If you love Thai food, I think you’re gonna love this easy Pad Kra Pao (Pad Kra Pao translates to stir-fried holy basil). You might even have ordered it or at least seen it on the menu at your favorite Thai restaurant. It’s a classic offering.
Slow Cooker Carnitas
Hands down, one of my favorite Slow Cooker meals is these Slow Cooker Carnitas. For decades, I’ve made Mexican Shredded Beef or Pork in the slow cooker (link & photo below), but Carnitas? Only more recently, but they quickly edged out that recipe and other favorites!
Lomo Saltado Steak Stir-Fry
Let me tell you about a dish with a lot of flair and a dash of fire. Lomo Saltado Steak Stir-Fry. It’s a classic dish of Peru, and somewhere, sometime, some crazy genius Chinese chef combined stir fry techniques with Peruvian ingredients.
