In season 4 episode 13 of Quick Fix Meals With Robin Miller, titled "The Other White Meat Strikes Back!," Robin Miller showcases a variety of pork recipes that are quick and easy to make. The episode begins with Robin discussing the benefits of cooking with pork, including its versatility and affordability. She then proceeds to demonstrate four unique recipes that highlight the flavorful and tender qualities of pork.
First up is a recipe for citrus and herb-marinated pork tenderloin. Robin explains the importance of letting the meat marinate for at least an hour prior to cooking in order to enhance its flavor. She then shows viewers how to cook the tenderloin on a stovetop grill pan, which gives the meat a beautiful sear and creates mouthwatering grill marks.
Next, Robin prepares a classic dish with a twist: spaghetti carbonara with pancetta. Instead of using traditional bacon, Robin opts for pancetta, an Italian cured meat that adds a salty and slightly sweet flavor to the pasta. She also adds in some fresh thyme and a healthy handful of spinach for added nutrients.
For the third recipe, Robin makes a one-pan pork chop and vegetable dish that is perfect for busy weeknights. She shows how easy it is to throw together a few ingredients - in this case, boneless pork chops, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes - and cook them on a sheet pan in the oven. The result is a satisfying and flavorful meal that requires minimal effort.
Finally, Robin finishes off the episode with a spicy and savory pulled pork sandwich. She cooks a pork butt in a slow cooker with a blend of spices and chipotle in adobo sauce, resulting in tender and flavorful meat that falls apart with a fork. She then assembles the sandwich with a homemade slaw and some pickled jalapeƱos for a delicious and satisfying meal.
Throughout the episode, Robin emphasizes the importance of choosing high-quality pork products and cooking them properly in order to get the best possible flavor and texture. She also provides helpful tips and tricks for saving time and effort in the kitchen, making this episode a must-watch for anyone looking to up their pork-cooking game.
