Plentiful Pork Must Be Cooked Thoroughly
Experts say pork will be the most plentiful meat and likely the least expensive. Cook pork thoroughly to avoid any pink, with methods including sauteing chops in their own fat, adding water, and simmering until tender, or roasting slowly with long cooking times for best results.
Pan-Browned Pork Chops
Cut outer edge of surrounding fat at intervals to prevent curling. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and rub with garlic if desired. Grease skillet with fat and brown chops on both sides. Pour off accumulating fat. Add water or tomato juice to cover bottom. Cover and simmer on very low heat at least half an hour until tender.
Preparing Barbecue Spare Ribs in Two Stages
Rub spare ribs with salt pepper and dry mustard. Bake at 475 F until browned. Add water or thin barbecue sauce. Reduce to 325 F and bake about 1 hour until tender. Baste occasionally.
