Description

This vibrant pork dressing combines the richness of pan drippings with bright, tangy notes from rice vinegar and fruity green olive oil. The sweetness of honey and the sharp bite of Dijon mustard balance the savory depth, creating a glossy, flavorful sauce perfect for drizzling over sliced roasted pork or hearty salads. It comes together quickly on the stovetop, capturing the essence of home-cooked comfort with a Mediterranean twist. Ideal for weeknight dinners or as an elegant accompaniment to holiday roasts, this dressing adds instant complexity to any meal without requiring extensive prep time.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove the skillet from heat and pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the pork drippings.
  2. Return the skillet to low heat.
  3. Carefully whisk in the olive oil until combined with the drippings.
  4. Add the chopped scallions and cook for 30 seconds until slightly softened.
  5. Whisk in the rice vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, sea salt, ground black pepper, and crumbled bacon.
  6. Simmer gently, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the dressing is well combined and slightly thickened.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Note

This dressing is best served warm or at room temperature. If the sauce becomes too thick after cooling, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water to loosen it.

For a vegetarian version, omit the pork drippings and bacon, and use vegetable broth instead of drippings to deglaze the pan.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

This dressing pairs exceptionally well with sliced roasted pork loin, chicken, or over a simple mixed green salad with shaved fennel.
