Last week, I made some amazing “meat candy”- Pork Tenderloin with Blueberry Sauce. Quite a few of you tried the recipe at home, and much to my joy, loved it! So this week, (and since that pork from last week was bought with a 2-for-1 coupon), I’ve got another pork recipe for you- but this one is entirely different in style and taste.

My husband and I adore Eric Ripert– he’s so creative, passionate about his cooking, and ladies- his accent’s not half bad either. While watching one of his shows, we were a little freaked as he actually hunted wild boar, and then made this pork recipe with his trappings. Although the recipe (with a few revisions) did not disappoint, I’m endlessly glad that I didn’t have to traipse through any jungles to hunt down my dinner.

Now, normally, I stick to easy meals to share on the blog. But we all know sometimes the occasion calls for something that you didn’t throw together in 20 minutes like MacGyver. Sometimes, you want to make something a little nicer, something that requires more than 3 ingredients and a rubber band. This is a recipe like that. However, it’s still easy, just time consuming. Don’t let the number of ingredients or cooking time discourage you- try something new and watch the magic.
