Fettucine with ragu of pork and ricotta cheese

Dsc_0007

I know that the beginning of June seems like the wrong time of year to be preparing a slow-cooked, hearty pasta dish. However, I was preparing this as an entry for RedEye Chicago's Virtual Kitchen Stadium 3 contest. Even though it seems more appropriate for a blustery fall or winter evening, it's still pretty delicious!

Posole with pork, black beans, rice

Dsc_0007

I've done some recipe research on posole in the past and discovered that the thing that defines a posole is the hominy. I'm sure there is an original version somewhere that is considered authentic but I found so many variations of posole that I felt ok to make my own version. As long as I have hominy, I should be good. So this version comes to being because of leftover carnitas, rice and tomatillo salsa from this past weekend.

Carnitas tacos with tomatillo salsa

Dsc_0002

Carnitas is definitely not a weeknight meal. It's very simple but requires a low and slow cooking method. Which was perfect for a dreary, rainy Sunday afternoon!

Pork tenderloin with apple relish, polenta, asparugus

Dsc_0002

There are two challenges that I always seem to face when making weeknight dinners. The first is coming up with a starch component that doesn't take a long time to cook and isn't boring. The other is having a sauce component for a meat dish. This particular meal has good options for both of those issues.

Grilled pork chops, roasted broccoli, Egelhoff potatoes

Dsc_0013

Egelhoff potatoes, you ask? I'll get to those in a minute. 

This menu isn't an all-in-one weeknight wonder. But we can't always eat a one-pot thing every night. But the great thing about this menu is that there is really nothing to clean up even though you have to make 3 separate things. To me, that's huge! One of the reasons for minimal clean up is due to the technique of roasting vegetables. This menu took longer than the 30 minutes I shoot for but not too much longer. It was more like 45 minutes from start to finish.
