Pork Conserva with Green Tomato AgrodolceCraig Cutler

This Italian spot in the city's Germantown neighborhood is known for its house-made salami and mozzarella. And because this is the South, these folks know their pork. The rich, Italian-inspired pork terrine with the southern-style sweet-tart green tomato sauce is a delicious blending of what this restaurant does best. Timing note: The conserva needs to chill overnight.

What to drink:

A hard cider (like the Wandering Aengus Ciderworks "Bloom" served at City House) is a great match for the conserva.
