When it comes to cooking and baking, using flavorful, quality ingredients is all-important. It’s like you’ve given yourself a head-start, with less prep and fussing needed to get to the finish line. The best ingredients need minimal work to make them shine, while elevating the flavors of everything else around them.

Which is why I’m thrilled to be partnering with Smithfield today, and sharing this easy and delicious recipe with you!

Three steps? One pan? Yes and yes. This dish had me at pork belly, TBH, but the brussels and pomegranates sealed the deal.
