GRILLED PORK TACOS WITH PINEAPPLE
The combination of earthy dried chiles and fruity pineapple are hallmarks of al Pastore. But so are long marination times and slow roasting. These speedy tacos are far from al Pastore, but they do bring together the similar citrusy, fruity and earthy flavors. Make sure your grill is hot and well greased to get the right char and caramelization on the pork.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Put the chiles on a microwave-safe plate and microwave until fragrant and pliable, about 10 seconds (or toast in a small dry skillet over medium heat). Remove the stems, then tear the chiles and transfer to a blender. Add the vegetable oil, 1 pineapple slice, the orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Puree until smooth.
- Trim the pork, then halve crosswise and lengthwise to create 4 pieces. Put in a shallow dish, add the chile puree and turn to coat; let marinate, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the onion in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water; transfer to a bowl. Stir in the lime juice and a big pinch each of salt and pepper; set aside.
- Remove the pork from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates, then transfer the pork and remaining 2 pineapple slices to the grill. Cover the grill and cook, turning the pineapple and pork occasionally, until the pineapple is well marked, about 4 minutes, and the pork is just cooked through and lightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Chop the pineapple and add to the onion mixture along with the chopped cilantro; season with salt and pepper. Slice the pork and the avocado. Warm the tortillas as the label directs. Fill with the pork, pineapple mixture, avocado and cilantro leaves.

Steps:
- For the tofu: Sandwich each piece of tofu between 2 sheets of paper towels and place on a plate. Top with a second plate and weigh the plate down with a can or a heavy book to press any liquid out of the tofu. Set aside, changing the paper towels every 30 minutes, for 2 hours.
- For the lime sour cream: Whisk together the sour cream and lime zest and juice in a small bowl, then transfer to a squeeze bottle or container. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- For the salsa: Combine the peaches, cucumber, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice and onion in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- For the black beans: Saute the onion in the oil in a large skillet until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the tomato paste. Add the beans and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Use a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon to partially mash the beans. Cover to keep warm or reheat when ready to serve.
- Make the tofu: Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high.
- Cut the tofu into 1-inch-wide logs. Mix the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper together in a bowl, then sprinkle the tofu on both sides with the spice mix. Brush the tofu with a generous amount of olive oil. Oil the grill grates, then place the tofu on the grill and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- To build each taco, spoon some beans onto a tortilla. Top with the tofu and salsa. Drizzle with lime sour cream and serve immediately.
- Place the onions in a jar. Whisk the vinegars together with the sugar, salt and 1 cup water in a bowl until dissolved. Add the peppercorns. Pour over the onions and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours (see Cook's Note). Pickled onions keep about 2 weeks in the fridge.
COFFEE-RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
- Combine the coffee, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, cumin and paprika in a small bowl and mix well. Drizzle the pork tenderloin with 2 tablespoons olive oil and evenly sprinkle the rub all over, patting to adhere. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Toss the green beans in a large bowl with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well coated.
- Put the pork in the center of a large cast-iron skillet or heavy ovenproof skillet and scatter the green beans around it. (The pork should be directly on the pan, not on top of the green beans.) Broil for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping the pork and tossing the green beans halfway through cooking. When ready, an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the pork should register 145 degrees F and the green beans should be tender and lightly charred.
- Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes before slicing across the grain. Serve with the green beans.
PINEAPPLE-CUCUMBER SALSA
Steps:
- Combine the pineapple, cucumber, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the salsa with tortilla chips.

- In a blender, combine 1/2 cup of the canola oil with the cilantro, honey, garlic, jalapeno, chili powder, lime juice and zest. Puree until smooth. Place the pork tenderloins in a zip top bag or a resealable container and pour in the marinade. Toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least one hour and up to 4 hours. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Remove the pork from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Season the pork generously with the salt and pepper on all sides. Brush with remaining one tablespoon of the canola oil.
- Preheat the grill to high. Grill the pork until it is nicely charred on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Then move the pork to an area of indirect heat on the grill (a cooler area, medium heat to medium low heat) and continue grilling until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loin registers 150 F, about 10 to 12 minutes longer. Remove from the grill and tent loosely with foil. Let the pork rest 10 minutes. Thinly slice for tacos.
