How to Cook the Perfect Garlic and Herb Roasted Pork Bones

  1. Prep the pork bones: Rinse the pork bones under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Turn the oven on: Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  3. Season and arrange: Place the pork bones into a large roasting pan. Drizzle olive oil over them and season generously with salt and pepper. Make sure the bones are well-coated by massaging the seasoning in.
  4. Add veggies: Toss in the quartered onion, crushed garlic, chopped carrots, and celery. Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything, ensuring vegetables are evenly distributed around the bones.
  5. Roast: Place the pan in your oven and roast for 30 minutes. Remember to stir everything halfway through so everything browns evenly.
  6. Mix in tomato paste: Take the pan out of the oven and mix in the tomato paste, coating all the bones and veggies.
  7. Deglaze (optional): Pour in some red wine to deglaze the pan. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up all those tasty browned bits stuck to the bottom.
  8. Add broth and herbs: Pour your chicken or beef broth in and add the rosemary and thyme sprigs for extra flavor.
  9. Roast again: Return the pan to the oven and roast for another hour—baste occasionally with the pan juices to enhance the meat’s tenderness.
  10. Finish and serve: Remove the pan from the oven and discard the rosemary and thyme sprigs. Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve alongside creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy whole-grain rice, or roasted root vegetables.

Maple Cider Glazed Salmon with Honey Butter Polenta

Who doesn’t love a good salmon dish? Salmon, in my opinion, is such a versatile protein, and pairs well with most anything. This specific recipe was inspired by none other than my Pinterest board. And let’s just say, it did not disappoint. I’m a big fan of a spicy and sweet combination, and the two mesh beautifully in this dish. The marinade for the salmon is so good that you might consider taking a swig - no judgment here if you do. If polenta isn’t your thing, by all means, swap it out with some mashed potatoes or rice. I, for one, really enjoyed the sweet component of the polenta, but that’s just me. I hope you enjoy this recipe just as much as my family did!

Chicken Chorizo Tacos with Mango Salsa

Indulge in this spicy and tangy taco recipe, featuring one of our newest products, Chicken Chorizo! While chorizo can be used in a variety of dishes, with its cured and seasoned elements, I find using it for tacos is superior. While the chorizo is the star in this dish, let's not overlook the home made mango salsa. It may be the most time consuming part of this recipe, but it is worth it. The freshness and acidity compliments the spice of the chorizo so well. These flavors are sure to leave your mouth watering for more after each bite!
