Summer has always been about having a good time and trying out new things. We’ve put together three deliciously-unique recipes that put pork in the spotlight. From fresh and zesty tenderloin to sizzlin’ chops, these creations will have your guests asking when they can come back for more. Maybe we’re biased, but we think pork is the premier protein for long nights on the patio with friends and family.

This is Al pastor like you’ve never tasted before. South-of-the-border spices – guajillo and achiote – turn up the heat, while traditional favorites like thyme, oregano, paprika, garlic, and onion powder round out a robust flavor profile. Don’t forget the citrus: fresh lime and orange juice add a tropical touch. Sweeten the deal with honey and a slice o’ pineapple, and you’ve reached pork perfection.

The usual suspects like carrots, garlic, onions, Dijon mustard and Worcestershire (however you want to say it) make an appearance, but if you ask us the ground pork steals the show. And did we mention it’s wrapped in bacon? Take our word for it – this ain’t your mama’s meatloaf.

It adds a beautiful char and grill marks to the outside while keeping the inside perfectly juicy and tender. Plus, it allows you to enjoy the beautiful summertime weather (and prevents you from turning on your hot oven). Win win!
