Italian Pork Recipes

Italian cooking is built on restraint — a handful of excellent ingredients treated simply, letting each one taste of itself. When Italian cooks work with pork, they reach for olive oil, garlic, basil, oregano, tomatoes, parmesan and a good splash of wine, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, sautéing, baking and boiling.

In this collection it's most often cooked with olive oil, onion, dry white wine, whole milk, breadcrumbs and garlic. The dishes here span italian classics ready in as little as 70 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
