"The other white meat" is none too typical for discerning party guests, not to mention it feeds plenty of people (without resorting to cheap burgers and dogs). The moist texture of pork is often the perfect texture, which is not too wet and not too dry, and absorbs both dry rubs and marinades like a champ. All you really need are a few classic recipes and you're good to go!
If you're looking for a book full of stories, tips, techniques and pork BBQ recipes, then try a new book by historian Ardie A. Davis and world champion chef Paul Kirk called "America's Best BBQ: 100 Recipes from America's Best Smokehouses, Rib Joints, Roadhouses and Restaurants."
You'll thoroughly enjoy reading this book, which is full of stories and pictures of the nation's best BBQ joints. In the author's opinion, the best ribs barbecue recipes are the simple ones, with just a basic rub, cooked over wood, without taste-hiding sauce. This nice coffee table cookbook makes a great gift for the seasoned cook in your family.
Now that you're armed with your professional BBQ guide, you'll need to test out your pork BBQ recipes. An interesting one recommended by Ellen Brown in "Grilling in the Southeast" is Cuban Pork Chops With Mango Relish. To make, you'll pat the 1-inch chops dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Next, combine 2 garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons of ground sage and a pinch of allspice in a bowl and rub both sides.
Heat your grill to medium-high and whip up your delicious mango relish by mixing 2-3 ripe peeled/diced mangoes, 1/3 cup of fresh squeezed lime juice, 3 minced/diced garlic cloves, 1 diced serrano chili or jalapeno pepper, 1 tablespoon of orange zest and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir in 3 tablespoons of chopped, fresh cilantro.
Grill your chops six minutes per side and voila, you've got one of the most exotic and delicious BBQ recipes pork has to offer!
