Cuba Libre Pulled Pork Bowls with Pickled Red Cabbage

September 27, 2021 No Comments

I seem to enjoy pairing pork with cocktails. And no, I don’t mean pouring myself a drink before tucking into a pork entree. I mean, marinating, braising, and/or topping pork with a beloved cocktail. I will admit it’s a strange hobby. This is not something I knew about myself, but this Cuba Libre Pulled Pork and the Mojito Pork Tostadas from last month suggest this is becoming a favorite pastime of mine. Who knew? I realize that two recipes do not a pattern make, but you have to admit, it’s a little peculiar. I can’t wait to see what my brain hurls at me next. Paloma Pork Burgers? Actually, not a terrible idea.

It’s time for another installment of my ongoing video series Overthinking Classics. Today, I’m tackling Caesar Salad. I chose this much-beloved salad as my next subject because I felt it dovetailed nicely with the previous episode, which covered the ins and outs of crafting the perfect Roast Chicken. Chicken Caesar Salad anyone? If you do decide to go all out and make both, I suggest saving the breast meat from your roast chicken for this salad. I’m usually a dark meat person but in the case of salads, I feel white meat is the best option. So let’s dive into this Caesar Salad.

Of all the tortilla-related formats, I think the tostada is the most underrated. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. Pizza is almost universally loved and a tostada is essentially a crisp thin-crust pizza. And it’s naturally gluten-free. The tostada should be a slam dunk for the North American market. But tacos reign supreme in my neck of the woods. And I don’t have a problem with that. I love a good taco as much as the next girl. But I do believe the tostada genre deserves more recognition. And I intend to fight that very good fight by introducing you to these Mojito Pork Tostadas with Sweet Plantain Spears.

Depending on where you are in the world, dinner parties may or may not be back on the menu. In my corner of the world, they very much are. And while I’m excited by this development, I am also trepidatious. It’s not that I’m all that worried about the COVID of it all. I am lucky enough to be fully vaccinated as are most of my friends at this point. It’s more that I feel like I’ve forgotten how to human. So I’ve been keeping my gatherings small and my menus simple. So today, I’m bringing you one such menu item – this Mortadella Pesto Melt.
