Grilled Pork Chop with Green Almond and Olive Relish

Green almonds have become one of our favorite spring treats and we’re constantly coming up with new ways to enjoy them.  This simple relish, which pairs fresh, crunchy green almonds with mild, buttery Castelvetrano olives and fresh rosemary, could not possibly be any easier to make.  It’s great with grilled pork chops, but it would be just as good with fish, on a salad or with a good creamy goat cheese.

Stir-Fried Pork with Cucumber and Asian Mushrooms

We’re big fans of dried mushrooms here at Earthy Delights. After all, we’ve been in the mushroom and wild foods business for almost 40 years. While a lot has changed, with the rise of new technologies and new ways of doing business (remember life before the internet or even personal computers?), our genuine love of fresh and dried mushrooms has remained steadfast.

Country Comfort: Ramp & Jowl Bacon Gravy

It’s not surprising that most classic recipes are built on the solid foundation of good old-fashioned country cooking. Ramp and Jowl Bacon Gravy is insanely good over hot, homemade biscuits (check our recipe for Ramp Buttermilk Biscuits), but would be equally at home gracing a roasted veal chop in a fancy white-tablecloth restaurant. No wonder that down-home ingredients like ramps have found their way onto the menus of so many upscale dining establishments! A spoonful or two of this rich, …

“Pig Fingers” with Two Sweet & Spicy Glazes

“Pig Fingers” is a deliciously old-fashioned dish that has been around in some form since forever, apparently. While you may find various other versions online, this one is an original, an old farmhouse classic, dating back to that long ago time before the internet was invented. The following recipe was faithfully copied from a yellowed, handwritten index card that has been carefully kept in an decoupaged wooden recipe box for over 30 years. It was given to us back in the 1970s by the daughter …

Pork Loin Chops with Peppered Maple-Mustard Glaze

Savory. Succulent. Tender. Sweet. We’re talking about pork, but not just any old cut.  We’re talking about thick-cut boneless pork loin chops, in our opinion, one of the best and most flavorful cuts of pork.  Boneless pork loin is essentially a pork loin chop without the bone. When you de-bone a whole pork loin, you end up with baby back ribs and a boneless pork loin.  Pork loin chops are easy to cook, they’re big, meaty and tender – and …

Pan-roasted Pork Tenderloin with Cocoa-Spice Rub

Pork and chocolate? It may sound unusual, but this is a partnership that really works. The combination of crushed cocoa nibs, unsweetened cocoa powder and sweet, aromatic spices highlights tender, naturally succulent pork tenderloins in a surprisingly effective way. Cocoa nibs are roasted, coarsely crushed cocoa beans, the raw ingredient that is the starting point for all chocolate. Closely resembling coarse-ground coffee, cocoa nibs have a complex chocolaty flavor and nut-like crunch, without the sweetness of processed chocolate. While rather …

Wild Mushroom Wontons, Three Ways

Wontons are fun. They’re great party food, perfect as appetizers and for special occasions. But wontons are, at their heart, simple Asian comfort food. Wontons have been around in some form for literally thousands of years. Most basic wonton recipes are quite similar (after a thousand years or so, you should pretty much have the basic recipe perfected). Popular as street food in almost every Asian country, wontons have plenty of local variations. While fillings can vary, the basic technique remains …
