2 cups reduced veal stock
4 (16-ounce) double-cut bone-in pork chops
4 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 recipe Bourbon-Mashed Sweet Potatoes, recipe follows
1 recipe Caramelized Onions, recipe follows
Parsley leaves, for garnish
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Season each chop on both sides with 1 teaspoon of the Essence. Grill for 3 minutes. Turn each chop 1/4 turn to make grill marks and cook an additional 2 minutes. Turn and cook on the second side for 5 minutes.

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the heat and serve hot.

CROCK POT PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES AND SWEET POTATOES



Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin With Apples and Sweet Potatoes image

This is easy, and slow cooked. Very tender and great flavor. Apples, nutmeg, rosemary, onions, apple cider, white wine and slow roasted. A great slow cooked easy dish. Try a salad with blue cheese dressing and some fresh rosemary beer bread and you have the perfect fall Sunday Football Meal!! I make this all the times for my pool gang. I play pool 1-2 times per week with 5 guys (the girlfriends too) and I usually cook. This is one of the meals for our Sunday night games. It cooks all day while you do other things. You don't lift a finger other than the last hour when I make my beer bread (1 pan wonder) and make a salad). Please give it a try!

Time 8h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 -3 lbs pork loin
3 granny smith apples, thick sliced skin on
1 bosc pear, thick sliced skin on (anjou to me is too soft)
3/4 cup white wine
1 cup apple cider (not apple juice)
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 large onions, rough chopped
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
2 bay leaves
4 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in quarters do not chop fine
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter (1 to saute, 2 for the crock pot)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pork -- In a large saute pan add 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat to medium. Season the pork loin well with salt and pepper and sear on medium heat until golden brown on all sides. Just a minute or less per side.
  • Crock pot -- Add the pork to the crock pot. To the pan with pork drippings add the apple cider and just deglaze the pan and stir/scrape up all the drippings with a spatula. Add immediately to the crock pot.
  • Add everything else to the crock pot, vegetables, seasoning, butter, apples, pears, wine, onions, sweet potatoes, etc and just cook.
  • Cook -- 8-10 hours on low or 6-8 hours on high.
  • Enjoy -- Slice thin and serve. You can thicken the sauce if you want with a little slurry of corn starch and water but I find that the potatoes and pork soak up most of the juices. The onion and apples are sweet and everything is just perfect. Just a small salad.

Bake alongside pears for 20 minutes, or until pork is cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Serve pork with sweet potatoes and pears.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tsp. mild curry powder
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. light brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
4 (1"-thick) small bone-in pork chops (about 2 lb. total)
8 small sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 lb.), scrubbed, sliced in half lengthwise
1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
4 small radishes, thinly sliced
1 cup pomegranate arils

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Stir curry, pepper, brown sugar, and 2 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
  • Rub an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet with oil. Sprinkle pork chops and potatoes with spice mixture on prepared pan to evenly coat, then arrange in an even layer with potatoes cut side down.
  • Roast until pork is golden brown and cooked through and potatoes are deeply browned on cut sides and fork-tender, about 20 minutes. (The pork might finish cooking before the potatoes do; if so, transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest, then continue roasting the potatoes until done.)
  • Meanwhile, whisk yogurt, lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
  • Arrange pork and potatoes on a platter. Top with yogurt sauce, radishes, and pomegranate arils.
  • Do Ahead: Yogurt sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
  • Cooks' Note
  • Small sweet potatoes work best for cooking at the same rate as the pork chops and fitting on one sheet pan since you can tuck them between the chops. If you can't find small sweet potatoes, use larger ones, cut them into wedges, and turn them halfway through roasting.

PORK STEW WITH PEARS AND SWEET POTATOES



Pork Stew With Pears and Sweet Potatoes image

It's nice knowing that pears, which we think of almost exclusively for desserts in this country, are often used in savory ways in Eastern European cuisines. In this stew, caraway seeds, allspice and fennel reinforce that heritage, while sweet potatoes add rich, round flavors. Although bone-in ribs seem a bit more flavorful, boneless are also fine here. You can even use a combination of both if that's what turns out to be in the package you buy at the store. Because the pears can turn mushy overnight, this is the rare stew that's actually best served the day that it's made.

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 pounds boneless or 3 pounds bone-in country-style pork ribs
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more as needed
2 onions, halved and thinly sliced
2 bulbs fennel, fronds removed, bulb cored and thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 large or 3 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
1 teaspoon ground allspice
2 bay leaves
2 to 3 cups chicken stock
3 pears of your choice, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Grainy mustard for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • If using bone-in ribs, cut away the bones and set aside. Cut pork into 1-inch cubes, sprinkle the ribs evenly with the salt and allow to stand, refrigerated, for at least 1 hour and no more than 12 hours. Move oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Dry pork cubes well and sprinkle generously with pepper. Heat oil over medium-high heat in Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot until shimmering. Working in batches to avoid crowding, brown the pork well (including bones if you have them), transferring to a platter as browned, adding more oil in between batches if needed.
  • Add the onions and fennel to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are transparent, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve any fond on the bottom of the pot. Add the pork (and bones if you have them), sweet potatoes, caraway seeds, allspice, bay leaves and enough chicken stock to just cover the meat. Bring to a simmer, cover and place in oven for 1 hour. Add the pears to the pot, then continue to cook until meat is very tender, about 30 to 45 minutes more.
  • Remove bones from pot, stir in lemon juice, then serve stew in bowls, passing mustard separately so people can put a dollop on their stew if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid any that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the sweet potatoes with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork: This will help them cook more evenly.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a crispy exterior.
  • Add some spices to the sweet potatoes: This will help enhance their flavor. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, paprika, and cumin.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes with a variety of toppings: This could include butter, brown sugar, marshmallows, or pecan nuts.

Pork and sweet potatoes is a classic combination that is sure to please everyone at the table. The sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamins and minerals, and the pork provides a good source of protein. This dish is also relatively easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and nutritious meal, give pork and sweet potatoes a try.
