Experiments in Cooking
I’ve never purchased a pork sirloin before. I happened upon it while looking for a smallish cut of pork butt, but not something as lean as the tenderloin. This 1.5lb piece of sirloin called out to me. I did some quick Googresearch and realized that […]
Browning in a cast iron pan with garlic In a nice bed of shishito peppers Served with bacony collard greens And roasted Brussels Sprouts So so good! And this wine made it even better 😉 For 2 logs of pork tenderloin (~2.2 lbs) Dry rub […]
I’ve recently started streaming cooking videos, and came across this one on Youtube. He makes it looks easy, and he isn’t wrong 🙂 The whole family loved this. I would recommend doubling the recipe (linked below) and making it a noodle-soup with your favorite noodles. […]
I took a break from the indoor kitchen, and handed this off to the husband to grill. Tenderloin with dry-rub, marinated in fridge for 6 hours. It was so juicy & tender! Served with Barley Risotto. The rub was sweeter than I cared for it […]

I recently bookmarked this recipe after seeing one of my friends rave about it on social media. It sounded perfect. Growing up as a child in India, congee (or kanji) was a comfort meal made for the ailing, so it took me a while to […]
A friend of mine shared her recipe for slow cooked Kalua Pork. Since I was on an instant pot spree, I researched IP Kalua Pork recipes to figure out how to take my recipe to the IP. I combined the original recipe (thanks Stephanie!) as […]
