Sausages and Green Lentils with Salsa Rosso

Posted in Italian, Main Dish, pork, tagged , , , , , , on June 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

This is totally a winter dish…broccoli, lentils, sausage and canned tomatoes…all things that are readily available in the colder

I had a little time two Saturdays ago and decided to make a big pot of soup so I could have lunches and dinners for the week as I needed them.  I’m a big fan of canned beans for convenience, and rarely use dried beans, except for certain soups when I have the time.  Black [...]

Smoky Peanut Mole Sauce

Posted in Main Dish, Mexican, Vegetarian, pork, tagged , , , on August 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Haley requested this mole recipe that I served over roasted pork loin. It’s a Rick Bayless recipe that’s not complicated, but is time-consuming. It really is worth it though and makes enough mole that you have some leftovers. I served this spooned over the pork loin and with garlic mashed potatoes and [...]
