Which is why your healthy pork recipes can bring all these new flavours to your plate. Like our silky meatballs in a jammy tomato sauce and a quick-as-a-flash traybake that pairs pork with apples and fragrant tarragon, and a stir fry that doubles down on coconut and chilli heat and is on the table in 15 mins.
