In reviewing recipes and classes we have taught over the past 15 years, we came across a recipe from 2013 that we taught on how to cook different types of roasts. Today's Weekend Recipe is from our lesson on how to cook a delicious roast of pork. From my years working with Ontario Pork, I came to appreciate the value of the pork rib roast - it's always tender and juicy.

"When we thought of this weekend recipe, we realized that January 24 is in fact National Peanut Butter Day during 2026, so we figured what better day to have a feature on peanut butter than today? This is a tasty dish that can be used as an appetizer or a main dish, originating from Indonesia but becoming vastly popular in Thailand, it's the perfect addition to a weeknight rotation!"
