FLAVORFUL PORK PAIRINGS Pork’s versatility brings exciting flavors to the forefront Next time you’re searching for flavor inspiration in the kitchen, take a closer look at your favorite cut of pork.

Whether you’re planning a festive party or a relaxed weeknight meal, pork’s versatility makes it a go-to for quick, delicious dishes in a spectrum of vibrant flavors. Pork chops with applesauce is tried and true, but what about pairing a juicy roast tenderloin with ginger and soy sauce?

No matter the occasion, pork is the perfect mate for all your favorite flavors — and some flavors you might never expect.

Succulent tenderloins pair with sweet and savory glazes like honey and sesame, but are also suited for more tart and intense flavors like a refreshing pickled onion relish or a cocoa and coffee rub. And because many cuts, like pork tenderloin, chops and loin roasts can be cooked up in less than 30 minutes, pork pairs perfectly with your busy schedule too.

And… have you heard? The USDA lowered its temperature recommendation for pork. For juicy, tender meat, cook loins, chops and roasts to 145° F with a three minute rest time. This temperature will yield a product that’s typically pinker in color and juicier than any pork you’ve ever made.

Give the new temperature a test-run with this Honey Sesame Tenderloin. Roast up a couple for a satisfying, crowdpleasing meal, or a playful dinner for two with tasty leftovers.

For more versatile pork recipes and time-saving tips, visit PorkBeInspired.com or Facebook.com/PorkBeInspired . Follow the National Pork Board on Twitter @AllAboutPork.

Honey Sesame Tenderloin Ingredients: 1 pork tenderloin, (about one pound) ——— 1/2 cup soy sauce ——— 2 cloves garlic, crushed ——— 1 Tablespoon ginger root, grated ——— 1 Tablespoon sesame oil ———

1/4 cup honey ——— 2 Tablespoons brown sugar ——— 4 Tablespoons sesame seeds Cooking Directions: Place tenderloin in self-sealing bag; add soy sauce, garlic, ginger and sesame oil; seal bag and toss to mix thoroughly.

Refrigerate 2-24 hours.

Heat oven to 450°F. Remove tenderloin from marinade, discarding marinade. On a shallow plate mix together honey

and brown sugar; place sesame seeds on another plate. Roll tenderloin in honey mixture to coat evenly, and then roll in sesame seeds. Place in shallow pan and roast for 20-27 minutes, until internal temperature reads 145°F, followed by a 3-minute rest time. Slice to serve.

Serves 4 Serving Suggestions: Pork tenderloins are often packaged two to a bag; plan a meal another night with pork

tenderloin medallions or kabobs.

Cookies get healthier with whole grains Whole grains are an important part of a healthy diet, but sometimes they’re a challenge to incorporate into your daily menu. Once you’ve made the decision to include more whole grains in your diet, the easiest place to start might be — perhaps surprisingly — with cookies. After all, who doesn’t indulge in cookies? According to King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking, “Studies show that when American bakers turn on the oven, they’re more likely to bake cookies than anything else.”

Cookies are sweet and flavorful, full of chips and nuts, candy and dried fruit. And that’s why they’re so easy to convert to whole grain. Exchange whole wheat flour for some of the allpurpose flour in a cookie laden with dark brown sugar, butter, toasted pecans, and chocolate chips, and no one will be the wiser.

“Our best hint: Let the baked cookies rest for 24 hours, at room temperature, before serving,” says Susan Reid, editor of The Baking Sheet at King Arthur Flour. “This rest gives the bran a chance to soften, less-

ening the ‘gritty’ mouth-feel some folks get from whole wheat.”

These cookies are a great way to convince yourself (and your family) that baking with whole grains can be a tasty experience.

Once you give them a try, you’ll look for reasons to bake with whole grains. More delicious whole grain recipes are available at kingarthurflour.com.

Basic Whole Grain Cookies Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter ——— 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar ——— 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed ——— 1/2 teaspoon salt ——— 1/4 teaspoon baking soda ———— 1/2 teaspoon baking powder ——— 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ———— 1 large egg ——— 3/4 cup King Arthur 100 per-

cent White Whole Wheat Flour or Premium Whole Wheat Flour ——— 3/4 cup quick rolled oats ——— 2 Tablespoons orange juice ——— 2 cups chips, nuts, and/or dried fruit Directions: Beat together the butter, sugars, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla until well combined. Add the egg, beating till smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl, and beat again until smooth. Add the flour and oats, beating to combine. Beat in the orange juice, then the add-ins.

Cover the cookie dough, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled; at least several hours, or overnight. When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets. Drop the cookies by the traditional teaspoonful (about 2 measuring teaspoons, about a 1" ball) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2" apart. If the cookie dough has been refrigerated, bake the cookies for 13 to 14 minutes,

until they're a very light golden brown, and a bit darker around the edges. For non-refrigerated dough, bake for about 11 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and cool right on the baking sheets. Yield: about 5 dozen small cookies.

Whole-Grain Cookie Tips In plain-textured and/or lightcolored cookies, exchanging the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour produces a noticeable but pleasant change. To temper the sometimes “tannic” flavor of the whole wheat, add 2 tablespoons orange juice per cup of flour if the recipe calls for liquid (milk or water).

In “craggier” cookies, substituting up to 50 percent whole wheat for the all-purpose flour is almost unnoticeable.

Substituting 100 percent whole wheat, with no all-purpose flour, often works well, though we can’t guarantee it for every recipe.

If your cookie recipe directs you to chill the dough, do it.

Chilling will create a more tender, lighter-textured cookie that won’t spread too much when baking.

Agave Carrot Muffins

DOMINO ORGANIC AGAVE NECTAR Introducing a New Way to do Sweet…

The makers of Domino Sugar are proud to introduce Domino Organic Agave Nectar — a delicious and natural liquid sweetener that is made from the nectar of a succulent plant called the Agave, native to Mexico.

Since agave nectar is a naturally sweet product, and ranks as having a low glycemic index, it makes for a versatile and ideal sweetener that can be used for baking as well as everyday sweetening. Low glycemic index foods are an important part of healthy diets as they help to keep energy levels balanced. In addition, agave nectar is a gluten-free product and it contains no allergens.

Domino Organic Agave Nectar is available in two flavors: Light Agave Nectar and Amber Agave Nectar (Dark).

Light Agave Nectar offers a pure sweetness that will not alter the flavor when sweetening beverages or recipes. It can be used to sweeten hot beverages like coffee and teas, and dissolves easily in cold drinks such as lemonades and smoothies. Light Agave Nectar can be used for baking desserts that are light in color such as vanilla cake, muffins and cheesecake.

Amber Agave Nectar has a slightly thicker consistency than Light Agave Nectar and adds a more caramel-like flavor to foods. It is ideal for sweetening breakfast foods like pancakes, oatmeal or cereal. The richer flavor of Amber Agave Nectar makes it delicious for baked

goods that have a darker color like brownies, chocolate cake and cookies. It is also delicious for BBQ sauces and salad dressings.

Both Domino Organic Light and Amber Agave Nectar are sold in either 23.5 oz. or 11.75 oz. net weight bottles. (Agave nectar, like honey, is sold by weight, not by volume.)

The sweetness of either Domino Organic Light Agave Nectar or Amber lends itself perfectly for baking and cooking recipes. Since agave nectar is a liquid, it will incorporate easily into favorite desserts. When converting recipes that call for granulated sugar, follow this conversion: 2/3 cup Light Agave Nectar equals 1 cup Granulated Sugar, reduce other liquids by 1/4 to 1/3 cup

4 large eggs ——— 1 cup canola oil ——— 3 cups shredded fresh carrots ——— 2 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour ——— 1 teaspoon baking soda ——— 1 teaspoon baking powder ——— 2 teaspoons cinnamon ——— 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare three 12-cup muffin pans with liners. In a large bowl, combine agave, eggs and oil; beat well. Stir in carrots. In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Blend in batter. Pour into prepared pans. Fill cups only half-way to ensure proper baking. Bake 22-25 minutes until the center of the muffin springs back when lightly touched.

Celebrate the Change in Seasons With a Change in Menus Fall is a wonderful time of year to gather with friends and family. The cooler days and colorful foliage make a dramatic backdrop for even the most casual get-togethers.

This change in our surrounding elements instinctually inspires us to replace the fire of the grill with the heat of the oven to create rich and savory foods for entertaining with friends.

“Our family loves to cook and as the weather transitions out of the warm summer months, the dishes that we prepare change as well,” says Stephanie Gallo, a third generation Gallo family member. “I love comfort foods in the fall.

I’ll make dishes filled with deep and rich flavors, but always really simple. They are very warming to the palate and get us excited about the cooler months ahead.”

To celebrate the fall, Gallo Family Vineyards opens its family recipe book with a delicious update on a classic comfort dish — the casserole — with its chilequiles recipe.

This easy to prepare main dish offers delightful savory flavors with its base of chicken and cheese and features an unexpected layer of fresh herbs and spice with the addition of chopped cilantro and spicy salsa.

TASTE OF HOME

Think fresh to prevent heart disease Shake the salt habit...and take control of your favorite recipes Before you reach for the salt shaker, consider this: according to the Mayo Clinic, the number-one health threat for both men and women is heart disease. And a big part of preventing heart disease is reducing the amount of sodium, or salt, in your diet.

So, how can you eat better without sacrificing flavor?

Think fresh. The less processed the food you eat, the better; processed foods (canned soup, frozen entrees and other prepared items) tend to be high in sodium.

Instead, load your grocery cart with fruits and vegetables; lean meat, fish and skinless poultry; low fat or fat free dairy products; and whole grains and pastas.

Taste as you cook. When a recipe calls for salt “to taste,” don’t just automatically dump it in. Use salt sparingly as you taste your food at various cooking stages. If you’re used to that salty taste, give it some time; your palate will soon adjust to foods that contain less or no salts.

Use herbs. Either fresh or dried, herbs enhance foods’ flavor without sodium. Try basil, oregano, parsley, dill, onion or garlic powder, freshly ground or cayenne pepper.

Citrus is another flavor-booster. Try grating lemon zest, or add citrus juice to finished dishes.

Cook with stock. A great way to add flavor to pasta, rice, potatoes, and meat dishes is to cook them in or with a lower sodium stock (chicken, beef/meat, seafood, or vegetable), a healthier choice than high-sodium bouillon cubes or canned broth. If you make your own stock, keep extra in the freezer to always have some on hand.

Load your pantry with prepared stock, being sure to choose a brand that’s lower in sodium and as close to homemade as possible. Kitchen Basics stocks contain even less sodium than the leading reduced-sodium broth.

Kitchen Basics Real Cooking Stocks are slowly simmered from meat, bones, vegetables and herbs, and just like homemade these stocks are all natural without added MSG, chemicals, f illers or excess salts. A great pantry addition for soups and meals or to flavor your favorite fall vegetables.

Whether you are controlling ingredients for weight loss, heart health, renal health, to avoid certain foods due to allergies or to simply stay true to your culinary basics, Kitchen Basics Stocks enable ingredient conscious cooks to control the sodium level without over seasoning.

Try this fantastic recipe for Asparagus Risotto and see how using wonderful ingredients can add flavor without having to pile on the salt.

Asparagus Risotto Submitted by Chef Edward Marlier Ingredients: 1 pound asparagus ——— 4 Tablespoons butter ——— 1/2 cup chopped onion (or shallots) ——— 1 cup arborio rice ——— 1/2 cup dry white wine ——— 32 oz. carton Kitchen Basics Unsalted Chicken Stock ———

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese ——— 1/4 cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese ——— 1/4 cup cooked bacon, cut into small strips (pancetta) Directions: Prepare the asparagus by breaking off discarding the tough ends (about the last inch of the spear). Cut into 1 to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Bring a saucepan with a quart of water to a boil. Blanch the asparagus pieces for 2 minutes. Remove the asparagus pieces to an ice water bath to shock the asparagus into a vibrant green color and to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.

In a 3 or 4 quart saucepan, heat 3 Tablespoons butter on medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent.

Add rice and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring until nicely coated.

While the onions are cooking, bring the stock to a simmer in a saucepan. Add the wine. Slowly stir, allowing the rice to absorb the wine. Once the wine is almost completely absorbed, add stock to the rice 1/2 cup at a time until the liquid is almost completely absorbed. Stir often to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Continue cooking and stirring rice until the rice is tender, but still firm to the bite. Remove from heat.

Gently stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, the remaining butter, and the asparagus.

Garnish with bacon and shaved parmesan and serve immediately. Serves 6.

BAKERS, START YOUR OVENS

Make holiday baking enjoyable The holidays are a key time for baking, whether you are hosting the family get together, bringing a hostess gift for a party, or plan on giving dessert treats as presents. Yet, holiday baking can leave some feeling intimidated at the thought of toiling away for hours in the kitchen.

Make this year’s holiday baking enjoyable, by having a few quick and delicious recipes in your repertoire.

Pies are always popular, and are easy to make ahead so they are ready when you need them.

A perennial favorite that always impresses and can be prepared in no time, is the Eggland’s Best Amazing Pecan Pie. The recipe infuses the flavors of the holiday season and calls for less than 10 ingredients, including a pre-made pie shell, to save you time.

“The Amazing Pecan Pie is one of my favorite go-to recipes to make during the holiday season,” said Barbara Seelig Brown, Chef and Cookbook Author of Stress Free Cooking. “It is so easy to whip up that I usually make a couple of pies at once and freeze them, so I have desserts on hand for company, or to give out as holiday gifts.”

Another tip Barbara recommends for baking is to use high-quality ingredients that will help ensure your dishes come out perfectly every time.

“Eggs are an essential ingre-

DYSSEY

dient in baking, which is why I only use Eggland’s Best eggs.

Not only are they consistently fresh so they tend to perform better in recipes, but also offer superior nutrition, with less saturated fat than ordinary eggs,” said Barbara Seelig Brown.
