Garlic-Mustard Butter

Meal Ideas

Party with Pork

Appetizers

Prep Time: 5 minutes

1/4 cup butter, (1/2 stick), softened to room temperature
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic , minced

In a small bowl, stir together ingredients until well mixed. Wrap in waxed paper to shape like a stick of butter. Chill while pork is cooking. When ready to serve, cut into fourths and top each pork mignon before serving.

Goes well with Bacon-Wrapped Pork Medallions or Bacon-Wrapped Pork Chop.

For that added boost of flavor top pork medallions or grilled pork chops with a little of this seasoned butter.

Random Cooking Tip:

For marinated pork chops, put pork in a self-sealing bag with marinade in the refrigerator first thing in the morning. By suppertime, pork chops can be removed from marinade -dispose of used marinade- and ready to grill.

Buying/Handling/Storing Tip:

Pork belly is not widely available in supermarkets, but can be ordered by meatcase managers upon request.

Other Pork Buying/Handling/Storing Tips

Ask Your Butcher

Request a leaner cut (relatively speaking, as this is not a traditionally lean cut) and be sure to specify whether you prefer it with or without skin. If you plan to make bacon, pork belly without skin will yield the best results.

About the Cut

Pork belly comes from a pig’s ‘belly’ or underside after the loin and spareribs have been removed. This boneless cut may be served fresh, which means it is not cured or smoked.
