You know how it is when you get a new kitchen toy? You have to take some of your old recipes and try making them in a new way. These are a reworking of Los Angeles Street Dogs.

How to Make Carnitas in the Instant Pot
We love Carnitas, and we love it, even more, when it’s quick in the Instant Pot. Using Taco Sauce gives great meat flavor, then finishing it in a Dutch oven makes it simple and tasty. We like it with guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and beans.

Pan-Seared Pork Medallions with Fennel and Garlic
Pork is strange meat. If you cook it too long, it turns out like tough sawdust. If you don’t cook it enough, you could be chewing for hours and get sick on top of it. Since loin of pork has very little of its own fat to keep it moist, it’s important to find that sweet spot where the pork turns out safely cooked and tender. Pan searing is a good way to go.
Boswell Barbecue Sauce – Smokey, Sweet, Sour and Hot
I started making barbecue sauce a couple of years ago when I ran out of storebought and didn’t feel like going to the store to get more. How hard could it be? So, I’ve been working on this sauce and this is just the way we like it. I think you might like it, too. It’s sweet from brown sugar, honey, and molasses, and it’s sour from red wine and apple cider vinegar, and it’s hot from several types of chili. I’m going to put this on our Nesco Baby Back Ribs, but it’s also great on Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken, or anything else you want a sweet and sour hot barbecue sauce.
