What We’re Cooking
If you buy only one thing this week, make it the pork shoulder. We’re seeing unbeatable prices on this cut of meat this week, perfect for a hearty weekend meal. But if you’re looking for something lighter, the explosion of winter citrus and affordable kale across town makes this the perfect week for bright, fresh salads. Here are three recipes to help you make the most of your haul.
This is one of the best ways to use a bone-in pork shoulder (and a recipe we’ve featured before). Unlike traditional carnitas that require loads of lard (or other fats), this recipe uses the pork’s own fat and a tight baking dish to achieve that confit effect. It’s a set-it-and-forget-it meal that yields massive leftovers. Serve it in tacos, over rice, or with your morning eggs.
If you need a break from heavy winter braises, this salad is a vibrant reset button. It leans heavily on two of the week's most abundant sale items: Kale and winter citrus. The acidity of the fresh orange juice in the dressing helps tenderize the hardy greens, making this a salad you can actually prep ahead for lunch without it getting soggy. Add whatever nuts or cheese you have in the pantry to round it out.
Looking for an easy weeknight meal? The brilliance here is roasting the chicken directly on top of the potatoes, allowing the rendered fat to crisp the spuds while keeping the meat juicy. It’s the perfect vehicle for the affordable thighs and potatoes on sale this week. Serve it with an extra squeeze of lemon and a crumble of feta if you’re feeling fancy.
