Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large pork tenderloin (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried sage
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Pierce the pork all over with a fork. Combine the brown sugar, sage, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a bowl; rub all over the pork.
  • Toss the sweet potatoes and onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the cayenne on a baking sheet; season with salt and black pepper. Roast, tossing once, until golden, 20 minutes; set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until golden, 5 minutes; transfer to the baking sheet with the vegetables (reserve the skillet). Roast until the sweet potatoes are tender and a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 11 to 13 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the broth to the skillet; bring to a simmer over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Stir in the mustard, chives and a few grinds of black pepper. Slice the pork; drizzle with the pan sauce. Serve with the roasted vegetables.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 large rainbow carrots, cut into 1-inch half-moons
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt
6 cups kale (about 1 pound), woody ends discarded, leaves and stems chopped
Juice of 1 navel orange (about 1/3 cup)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 chipotle pepper in adobo, seeded and chopped, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, optional
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
2 cups cooked brown rice, for serving, optional

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Arrange an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat a large braiser or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and toast, stirring occasionally, until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the olive oil, carrots and onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the carrots soften and the onions start to become translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt and toss together so that everything is coated with the oil and seeds. Cook until the sweet potatoes start to soften slightly on the edges, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the kale and 1 teaspoon salt and let wilt slightly, another 2 minutes. While the kale is cooking, stir the orange juice, tomato paste, brown sugar and chipotle into the vegetable broth. Add the adobo sauce, if using. Pour the mixture into the pot. Stir and toss all the vegetables with the broth mixture and bring the mixture to a boil. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if desired.
  • Cover with a lid and bake 30 minutes. Remove the lid, stir and bake, uncovered, until the potatoes are very tender and saucy, about 30 minutes more. Serve on a bed of brown rice if desired, topped with radish and cilantro.
