All right! Last post was something totally different: pickled pork. If you haven’t tried it yet, I hope you give it a shot sometime soon.

And if you do try it, here’s something very cool to make: Harvest Grains with Pickled Pork Alfredo. if you don’t have pickled pork on hand or don’t even want to make it yet, you can substitute any kind of leftover meat, chicken or fish. The same goes for Harvest Grains, which are a mix of Israeli couscous, baby garbanzo beans and red quinoa and can be substituted with rice, pasta or even quinoa. Easy!
