Pork is known as "the other white meat", but we don't have to think of it as second best. Pork's mild flavor allows it to mesh well with many different spices, sauces, fruits, veggies, starches, etc. Our selection of quick pork recipes is designed to make you think outside the box when it comes to this unappreciated protein, and allow you to see it for the versatile ingredient that it is. Try some of these simple recipes, then experiment with your own.

Pulled Pork Sandwiches are one of my favorite things to order at a barbecue restaurant. The moist pork mixes with the tangy barbecue sauce to create a taste combination to die for. I wanted to know how to duplicate that taste at home. What I found out…
