Top 30+ best pork mince recipes that rival roast pork any day

When you think of pork, your mind likely conjures up the golden, crisp crackling of a pork belly or a glazed leg of ham. But pork mince is a versatile wonder, used in everything from rich Italian ragù to pork gyoza filling. Plus, there are many pork mince recipes that make for quick, easy midweek dinners.

Minced pork, sometimes referred to as ground pork in the US, is simply finely chopped or minced pork that you can easily (and affordably) source from your local butcher or grocer. It works just as well in hearty Italian recipes as it does spicy soups, as well as zesty Greek dishes, fast-as-lightning stir-fries and sticky-sweet Japanese skewers.

Here, we have impressive pork recipes that cross continents, from Sichuan-style green beans and pork to a NY-inspired sub sandwich. Make the most of pork mince’s versatility and make your way through these recipes, stat.

Gourmet Traveller uses free-range pork supplied by Australian Pork in the GT Test Kitchen and our photo shoots. Look out for the pink Australian Pork label at your local supermarket when next purchasing your pork.
