Although it is quite high in calories, pork is one of the most consumed meats in the world.
Whether you prepare tender and juicy steaks from it, stewed pork chops, delicious pork shank or make minced pork, it is regularly present on our table for one reason or another.
In addition, it goes well with a variety of side dishes, which we can easily diversify our menu with.
In this article, we will let you know some of the things you can prepare with pork.
Pork soups
When we talk about soups and stews made from pork, it is impossible not to think of our favorite tripe soup or pork brawn. With pork, however, you can also prepare many other soups, to which, in addition to aromatic spices, you can also add onions, carrots, potatoes, peas, rice, etc. Soups made from pork shank, pork ribs or ragout are especially delicious. We also add the fact that they are particularly nutritious and also contain the collagen we need. Or in other words, they would help us look young and vibrant.
Pork steaks
Pork steaks are a true classic. Whether grilled or baked in the oven, they can become the perfect main course, served both on weekdays and during formal occasions.
Pork skewers
Mmmm, can you smell the aroma of delicious and juicy pork skewers? Don't forget that they become even tastier and more nutritious by stringing vegetables between the pieces of meat (onions, mushrooms, peppers, zucchini, etc.)
Stewed pork
Stewed pork is something that most of us regularly prepare at home. The options are many and varied - pork with rice, pork with cabbage, pork with leeks, with peas, etc.
Roasted pork
Almost all parts of the pig are suitable for cooking in the oven. You can marinate them in the marinade of your choice in advance and only then subject them to heat treatment. Or you can fry the meat in advance to "seal it". A classic is roasted pork with potatoes.
Pork kavarma
You can find pork kavarma in all kinds of varieties, such as shepherd's style kavarma, Radomir kavarma, miller's style kavarma, etc. The characteristic of kavarma is that they are prepared in clay pots and must be served warm. Enjoy!
Pork kapama
You can rarely celebrate Christmas without having a kapama on the table, which must necessarily include pork. It is usually prepared from different types of meat, which are laid out in layers, and sauerkraut is placed between the layers. The larger the pot in which you bake the kapama, the longer you will have a delicious meal. And since it is typically prepared in winter, you can easily store the casserole on your balcony without it taking up space in the refrigerator.
Dishes with minced pork
It is good to have minced pork in every refrigerator, because almost everything can be prepared with it. We cannot list it all in this article. However, we cannot fail to mention the meatball soup, all types of moussaka, oven-baked meatballs or grilled, stews with meatballs (meatballs with white sauce, meatballs with red sauce, Chirpan style meatballs, Constantinople style meatballs, etc.), stuffed peppers and sarma, various types of pasta with minced meat, Stephanie roll, etc.
Pork tongue
Although most restaurants only offer beef tongue, pork tongue is not to be underestimated. The important thing is to boil it beforehand, remove the skins and only then stew or bake it. Pork tongue in butter, as well as pork tongue stew, are particularly popular.
Pork liver
Preparing pork liver is a rather delicate activity, but the effort is definitely worth it. It is important to soak it in milk for a few hours beforehand and only then proceed to its heat treatment. Be careful not to cook it for too long, because it will dry out. You can even make homemade pork liver pâté.
