March calls for meals with fresh flavors!🌷

This week I made pork bánh mì—juicy pork, homemade pickled veggies, fresh herbs, piled into a perfectly toasted Vietnamese baguette. Big flavor, simple prep, and perfect for a busy weeknight! Pork is an easy way to add high-quality protein to the weekly rotation. It keeps us fueled and satisfied!

Pork Banh Mi Ingredients

Pork
1 1/2 – 2 lb. pork roast

Marinade
5-6 cloves of garlic
1 shallot
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons fresh ginger
1 tablespoon lemongrass
Avocado oil for cooking the meat

Sandwich Ingredients
Vietnamese baguette
Pickled carrot and daikon (I made my own using @recipe_tin ‘s recipe)
Fresh cilantro
1-2 cucumbers, cut into thin strips
Sliced fresh jalapeños
Mayo or sriracha mayo

1. Make the Marinade
Add garlic, shallot, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, avocado oil, sesame oil, fresh ginger, and lemongrass. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth.

2. Marinate the Pork
Slice the pork into strips. Place the pork in a bowl and pour the blended marinade over it. Toss to fully coat the meat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (24 hours for best flavor)

3. Cook the Pork
Heat 1–2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook until browned and cooked through.

4. Broil for Caramelization
Transfer the cooked pork onto a sheet tray.
Place it under the broiler for about 3–5 minutes until the marinade begins to caramelize and the pork gets slightly crispy. (Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.)

5. Assemble the Bánh Mì
Slice and lightly toast the Vietnamese baguette.
Spread mayo or sriracha mayo inside the bread, then layer with:
Caramelized pork
Pickled carrot and daikon
Thin cucumber strips
Sliced jalapeños
Fresh cilantro

Enjoy! Save this recipe for a delicious pork dinner idea that will impress your entire family!

Inspired by @brennansnola this Bananas Foster is a love letter to New Orleans flavor! Buttery caramelized bananas flambéed to perfection and topped with @haagendazs_us vanilla ice cream.

I used Brennan’s Recipe from their site but added vanilla bean paste, more cinnamon, and adjusted some of the other ingredient amounts.

Ingredients
4 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 Tablespoon @nielsenmassey vanilla bean paste
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 ½ ounces banana liqueur @dekuypercocktails
1 ½ ounces aged rum
2 bananas

Combine butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste in a pan.

As the butter melts under medium heat, add the banana liquor and stir to combine.

As the sauce starts to cook, peel and add the bananas to the pan.

Cook the bananas until they begin to soften (about 1-2 minutes) Glaze each banana with the sauce.

Add the rum and use a long lighter to ignite. (Make sure to stir the sauce to ensure that all of the alcohol cooks out.)

Top cooked bananas with the sauce from the pan, vanilla ice cream of choice, and a dash of cinnamon. Enjoy! 🍌🍦🥃
