Tacos al Pastor with Pineapple and Achiote

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Real tacos al pastor are built around a spit you don’t have at home, so this version recreates the magic in a hot pan instead. A homemade marinade of guajillo chilli and earthy achiote stains the pork a deep red and lends its signature savoury warmth, while chunks of pineapple, caramelised until golden, bring the essential sweet-and-smoky counterpoint. Pile it into warm corn tortillas with onion, coriander and a squeeze of lime.

Bourbon BBQ Pulled Pork

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Pork shoulder is one of the great rewards of patient cooking: hours in a low oven render its connective tissue into something so tender it collapses at the touch of a fork. The twist here is a homemade barbecue sauce spiked with bourbon, simmered until the whisky’s caramel and vanilla notes melt into the smoky-sweet base. Piled into soft rolls with extra sauce on the side, it makes generous, crowd-pleasing eating with very little active effort.

Char Siu: Honey Five-Spice Roast Pork

Fri, 16 Feb 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Char siu is the glossy, mahogany-red roast pork that hangs in Cantonese shop windows, sweet and savoury at once. The twist here keeps the soul of it — a honey and five-spice glaze — while swapping fiddly skewers and a special oven for an ordinary roasting tray and grill. A tray of water below keeps the meat juicy, and a final brush of warmed honey gives that signature sticky lacquer and charred edges. Serve sliced over rice, in steamed buns, or chopped through noodles.

Crispy Pork Katsu Sando

The katsu sando is proof that a sandwich can be a destination dish. A crisp panko-crumbed pork cutlet, brushed with fruity-sweet tonkatsu sauce, is pressed between pillowy slices of Japanese milk bread. The twist is a quick tonkatsu slaw tucked alongside the cutlet, adding cool crunch and freshness so each bite balances rich and light. Crusts trimmed, cut neatly in two, it is as satisfying to look at as it is to eat.
