Greek Rosemary Braised Pork is a tender, tasty, savory, and sweet pork dish. Fork tender it falls apart. Braised with onions, wine, fresh rosemary, oregano, and thyme. Traditionally, this recipe uses honey and is sometimes called Greek Braised Pork with honey or Greek Icarian Honey. However, I don’t have any Icarian honey in my pantry so I substituted Yacon Syrup. This flavorful recipe will have company or family raving for more. Not to mention, the delectable aromas that will fill your kitchen.Greek Braised Rosemary Pork a close up picture.

Greek Rosemary Braised Pork:

Yacon Syrup is a sweet deep dark and tasty syrup. Therefore I decided to use Yacon Syrup as a substitute for the Greek Honey to create the depth of flavor. For more information read my blog post on Yacon Syrup Information. The sweetness of the Yacon Syrup balances out the acidity of the wine and a slight amount of vinegar. Nonetheless, Yacon Syrup can be found at Amazon.

Subsequently, it begins by browning the meat followed by building the b5aising liquid. Furthermore, the meat is baked in the oven for an hour to create a tender robust flavor. The sauce is finished off with a little orange juice, a small amount of Yacon Syrup, and a little more Rosemary. In conclusion, this creates a flavorful and tasty dish to top pasta, rice, zoodles, cauliflower mash, or riced cauliflower. Consequently, this vintage Mediterannean dish will leave you wanting more.

Personal Notes:

Believe it or not but this is my version of a tasty Dish from the Icarian Islands in Greece. In fact, it is named after the mythological Icarus who flew too close to the sun and fell into the ocean. According to legend, he fell close to these islands.

Needless to say, these islands are a mere 30 miles to the west coast of Turkey. Understandably, I have always wanted to visit Greece and Turkey. Hopefully, the world will be back to a new normal soon and my husband and I will get the opportunity to travel again.
