Bone-In Pork Loin Roast

Large, lean and mild, this roast can be cooked whole or cut into chops. Brining helps keep the meat moist and imparts extra flavor. For best results, opt for dry heat cooking methods, such as grilling, roasting or broiling.

Established in 1861 near the Sacramento River in Butte County, Rancho Llano Seco has a legacy of responsible family farming six generations in the making. Dedicated to environmental stewardship, they humanely raise their pigs in open air with GMO-free, vegetarian feed grown right on the ranch and with no antibiotics or added growth hormones. Through their holistic approach to ranching, they produce premium pork while taking care of their people, land and animals.

Grilled Mojo Pork Loin This classic Caribbean flavor combination is loaded with garlic and balanced by citrus, olive oil and oregano.

INGREDIENTS

Sourcing

SUSTAINABLE Quality and sustainability count when it comes to seafood, which is why we offer an extensive selection of sustainable, wild-caught fish and shellfish, and receive fresh seafood deliveries six days a week. We also partner with FishWise to provide color-coded labels that show the sourcing information and environmental impact of each item.

H AV E A N Y Q U E S T I O N S ?

Our talented seafood department associates are always happy to help!

The “King” of Seafood Just in time for summer barbecues, fresh, wild-caught King Salmon is nutritious, delicious and in season for a limited time. With one 4-ounce fillet supplying more than 40% of protein needs, a wealth of B vitamins and about 100% of omega-3 needs, it’s quite the catch!

PRO TIP When wild-caught King Salmon isn’t available, sustainably farm-raised New Zealand King Salmon (rated green by FishWise) is another excellent choice for grilling!

SUMMER'S SECRETS

Infused Waters!

During these warm summer months, your body’s need for fluid can easily go up twofold with the climbing temps.

Too often we reach for more than plain water to hydrate, but grabbing sports drinks, sweetened teas, fruit drinks and sodas for refreshment can add unwanted sugar and calories and also shortchanges you on good nutrition.

Infused waters to the rescue! These simple DIY drinks combine the goodness of fresh herbs like mint or basil with fresh fruit and even vegetables in chilled water.

W H Y I N F U S E D WAT E R S? FO R . . .

• An almost zero-calorie and sugar-free drink (the touch of fruit only adds about 10–20 calories per serving).

• A good source of the mineral potassium from herb leaves, veggies and fruit, which is known to promote healthy blood pressure.

• A bit of vitamin C from fruit like citrus and berries, along with fiber from veggie slices.

• A hint of sweetness and flavor that can help curb your appetite.

• An easy and practical way to meet your fluid requirements (9–16+ cups daily).

D I Y I N F U S E D WAT E R S

For an endless combination of flavors, simply combine filtered or tap water with your favorite assortment of herbs, fruit and veggie slices in a clean glass or non-reactive pitcher.

YOGU RT COOLING M A SK

Plain yogurt is cooling and contains natural lactic acid that helps gently exfoliate dead skin without scrubbing (which can do even more damage to sunburnt skin).

Green tea isn’t just to drink—it also makes a great, cooling aftersun spray. Simply brew plain, unsweetened green tea, let it cool, then pour into a spray bottle and mist on your skin after a long day in the sun. You can also add a small handful of mint leaves before steeping for an extra refreshing sip or spray.

Place approximately ¼ cup of fruit filling in the center of each circle, then fold the dough in half over the filling and gently press the two edges together.

Use a fork dipped in flour to crimp the edges, then transfer to a lined baking sheet and brush with egg wash.

Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Remove hand pies from the oven and let cool for 45 minutes before serving.

Pie Dough INGREDIENTS

2½ cups all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 8 ounces unsalted butter, cold 8–10 tablespoons ice water P R E PA R AT I O N

Combine flour, salt and sugar in a work bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or fork, making pea-sized pieces. Add ice water and gently mix until the dough just begins to come together.

In a 2-quart sauce pot, melt butter, then add onions and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover pot and cook over medium heat for 20–30 minutes, or until onions have released all of their liquid.
