Pork Bean Salad Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk 2 cups cold water, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon each sugar and salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Prick the pork a few times with a fork, then soak in the brine 15 minutes; remove and pat dry. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green and wax beans and cook until crisp-tender, 4 minutes. Add the bell pepper and corn; cook 1 minute. Drain the vegetables, rinse under cold water and pat dry. Transfer to a bowl and add the kidney beans. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until golden, about 4 minutes per side; transfer to a plate. Wipe out the skillet; heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook 3 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar and cook until absorbed. Whisk in 1/2 cup water, half of the parsley, the mustard, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and salt to taste. Simmer 3 minutes, then toss with the vegetables. Add the remaining parsley and season with salt and pepper.

PORK WITH POTATO-BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Cover the potatoes with cold water in a saucepan and salt the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a colander with a skimmer or slotted spoon. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the colander with the potatoes, run under cold water and pat dry.
• Meanwhile, mix 3 tablespoons mustard, the olive oil and celery salt in a bowl and rub over the pork. Broil on a foil-lined broiler pan until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes; flip and broil until cooked through, 2 to 3 more minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
• Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, the remaining 1 tablespoon mustard, the tarragon, lemon juice and zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Add the potatoes, green beans and onion; season with salt and pepper, and toss. Slice the pork and serve with the potato salad.

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH BLACK-BEAN AND SWEET-POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450, with racks set in upper and lower thirds. Place pork on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub with 1 teaspoon oil; season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Roast on upper rack until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of meat registers 145 degrees, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven, and cover loosely with aluminum foil; let rest about 10 minutes. (Slice off 1/3 of meat and refrigerate.)
• About 15 minutes after pork has begun roasting, place sweet potatoes on another rimmed baking sheet; drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with red-pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper; toss to coat. Roast on lower rack, until tender, tossing once during cooking, 25 to 35 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk lime juice with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Add sweet potatoes, beans, onion, and, if using, cilantro; mix gently to combine. Thinly slice pork, and serve with salad and lime wedges.

WARM SALAD OF BEANSPROUTS WITH PORK CRACKLING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lay the pork, skin-side up, on a shallow baking tray and sprinkle liberally with flaky sea salt. Cover with baking parchment and lay a second baking tray on top. Put a weight on top of the tray (such as a casserole dish), then put in the oven. Bake for 40 mins, then turn the oven up to 200C/180C/gas 6 and cook for another 20 mins or until the skin is deep golden and crisp. If it's not quite ready, return to the oven and check every 10 mins.
• Remove the crackling from the parchment and leave it to rest on a cooling rack. Spoon 2 tsp of the leftover pork fat into a large mixing bowl with the white pepper, sesame oil and oyster sauce to make a dressing. Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then add the beansprouts and cook for 3 mins until just hot through. Drain, then put the sprouts into the bowl with the dressing and mix well. To serve, break up the pork crackling and sprinkle liberally on top.

• In a large bowl, mix the bacon, kidney beans, cabbage, celery, parsley, and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the vinegar dressing mixture over the salad, and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
