Description
Learn how to grill pork collar with homemade pistachio pesto and pesto pasta. This BBQ pork recipe combines a deeply browned crust, juicy meat and the bold flavors of roasted pistachios, fresh basil, garlic and Parmesan.
The secret starts with how you cut the meat. I’ll show you how to butterfly and score a pork collar to create more surface area for seasoning and a delicious crust over charcoal. Then we coat both sides with fresh pesto and get grilling.
You’ll also learn how to make pistachio pesto from scratch, blend it without overheating the basil, and turn it into a simple pasta dish using a little pasta water and grated Parmesan. Serve it alongside the sliced grilled pork, finish with chili flakes, and you’ve got a barbecue dinner packed with flavor.
