Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Pierce sweet potatoes with fork to allow steam to escape. Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until tender. Cool 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove fat from pork chops. Place pork in ungreased rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches. Mix salt, paprika, garlic powder and pepper; sprinkle half of the salt mixture over pork. Turn pork; sprinkle with remaining salt mixture. Pour 1/2 cup orange juice into pan; set aside.
- Cut each sweet potato lengthwise in half. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-inch shell. Mash pulp until no lumps remain. Beat in 2 tablespoons orange juice until light and fluffy. Stir in apple, onion and celery. Fill shells with pulp mixture.

ROASTED STUFFED PORK LOIN WITH SWEET POTATO PUREE, RADICCHIO, AND A MOLASSES GASTRIQUE
Steps:
- For the pork loin:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Working on a large cutting board, cut the loin into 2 or 3 workable size pieces. Working on 1 piece at a time, place the loin fat side up on the cutting board. Using a sharp paring knife and starting at 1 end of the loin in the center of the meat, make a 1-inch incision widthwise. Insert the pairing knife into the incision and draw the knife down into the loin. Use the end of the knife to create a pocket in the loin but do not increase the size of the initial incision. Continue to create pockets down the length of the loin at every inch. Stuff each pocket with a pinch of spinach and a piece of fruit. Place a roasting pan or large saute pan over high heat. Dry the meat with paper towels before liberally seasoning it with salt and freshly ground pepper. Add the oil to the hot pan and completely sear each piece starting with the fat/incision side down in order to seal in the spinach and fruit. (This can be done ahead of time then chilled until ready to finish cooking.)
- Place the loin in the oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete cooking. Allow the meat to rest for 30 minutes before slicing. Slice the meat down the center of the incision to expose the filling and once to the side of the incision. Continue to slice the meat making cuts at the incision and then to the side in order to control the portion sizes and to expose the filling.
- For the sweet potato puree:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Wash and prick each yam with a knife or fork. Coat each yam with oil and place them on a sheet pan. Place them in the oven and until tender, approximately 30 minutes. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool. Remove the skins of the yams and discard. Place the yams in a large pot with the butter and cream. Using a potato masher, smash the yams until smooth. Heat over medium to low heat and season with salt and lime juice.
- For the molasses gastrique:
- Bring the molasses and sherry vinegar to a simmer in a small sauce pot. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes them remove it from the heat and allow to cool. Stir in the lemon juice.
- For the radicchio:
- Core the heads of radicchio and separate the leaves to make decorative cups. If the leaves are too large, cut them in half. Place the leaves in ice water until service.
- To assemble:
- On a large serving platter, place dollops of the sweet potato puree in the shell of a radicchio leaf. Place 1 slice of the pork loin on top of the sweet potato puree. Finish the plate by spooning some of the gastrique over the meat.

Remove the meat from the slow cooker and place in a large bowl. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onion chunks and place in the same bowl as the pork. Using two forks, pull the meat apart. Add the BBQ sauce and the apple cider vinegar to the slow-cooker, and cook the sauce for another 30 minutes on low. Once the sauce is done, mix it with the pork.

CARIBBEAN STUFFED PORK WITH ORANGE SWEET POTATOES AND PLANTAINS
This was definitely a huge experiment I had no idea how this would turn out or if the flavours would work and it turned out great. I have a Caribbean cook book that we brought in St. Lucia on our honeymoon, I got the sweet potato recipe from this and I have made plantains for years they make a wonderful snack, and keep in an air tight jar for quite long periods of time. The pork was an experiment and my hubby and myself thought it was wonderful. The pork came out so tender and moist, one of the most tender pork recipes I have made.

Steps:
- Cut the pork down the centre making sure not to go all the way through (basically butterflying.) Pound pork with a meat mallet until same thickness all over. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a frying pan melt butter, add onions, cook until soft, add herbs, breadcrumbs, rum, chopped mango and salt and pepper to taste, stir to combines.
- Spoon stuffing down on half of pork remembering to leave enough of an edge so when you fold, the other half over, it will cover the stuffing completely.
- Fold the other half of the pork over and secure with kitchen string at 11/2-2 inch intervals. In a lightly oiled roasting pan, place pork and bake in a preheated oven 180°C for about 1 hr (cooking time may be longer if your meat weight is more and I'm not sure if it will be less if you do 2 smaller loins, just check towards the end of cooking time regularly, to see if it is cooked through).
- Baste meat several times during cooking with reserved juice, I even poured a little over the pork when I started, so the pork juices combined with this made for some great juices I could use for sauce later. (don't pour too much though and make sure it is natural juice and not syrup as it will burn and also forms a glaze on the pork because of the high sugar content).
- Mango Sauce:.
- Drain the mango reserving the juice, blend or process mango until smooth, pour into saucepan, leave on a low heat.
- Heat a little olive oil in a pan, add onion and garlic cook until onion is soft and garlic has just started to brown, add to mango, turn up the heat to medium.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until jam has melted and sugar dissolved, that's it easy peasy sauce is done. This can just be left over a very low heat to keep warm. When the pork is cooked just add the 3 Tablespoon of juices and stir to combine. If sauce is not quite hot enough, turn the heat up at this time and heat for a couple of minutes until hot. Serve over pork.
- Orange-Baked Sweet Potatoes:.
- Peel sweet potatoes and chop into pieces (just like you would regular potatoes that you were going to mash.) Place in a pan cover with water and boil until tender then drain.
- While potatoes are cooking, slice the tops off of 4 oranges and scoop out the flesh be careful not to break the shells. Cut the peel from the tops into thin strips to use as garnish later. Squeeze the juice from the pulp (there will be more juice than you need but I squeeze it all and drink the rest, there is nothing like fresh orange juice.) and grate a teaspoon of rind from the fifth orange.
- Mash the sweet potato until smooth (I use a bar mix). Add butter, cream, sugar, rum, orange juice and cinnamon, whisk to combine or bar mix away whatever is easier (Hint: Bar Mix, Bar Mix) Mix in grated rind and season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon mashed potato mixture into the orange shells. Place on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (perfect already at that temp from pork.) Bake for 15-20 minutes, until you have golden brown top. Garnish with the reserved strips of orange peel and serve.
- Plantain Chips:.
- Peel plantains and thinly slice them into rounds.
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and fry plantains until crispy and golden.
- Drain on absorbent paper and season with salt.
- Oh so easy and oh so delicious, just remember you need some for dinner, so don't sneak to many while cooking :).
- To Serve: Arrange pork slices on plate pour sauce over the top. Arrange plantain chips and place orange shell on top of them.
- Bon Appetit.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Select firm and evenly shaped sweet potatoes that are free of blemishes. Medium-sized sweet potatoes are ideal for stuffing.
- Preheat the oven: Before you start cooking, preheat the oven to the desired temperature. This will ensure that the sweet potatoes cook evenly.
- Prick the sweet potatoes: Before baking the sweet potatoes, prick them with a fork or knife. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from bursting.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until tender: Depending on the size of the sweet potatoes, they will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour to bake. You can check if they are done by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center. If it comes out clean, the sweet potatoes are done.
- Prepare the stuffing while the sweet potatoes are baking: This will save you time and allow the stuffing to cool slightly before you fill the sweet potatoes.
- Be creative with your stuffing: You can use a variety of ingredients to make your stuffing, such as ground pork, sausage, vegetables, nuts, and herbs. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
- Stuff the sweet potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes before stuffing them. Then, use a spoon or your hands to stuff the sweet potatoes with the prepared stuffing.
- Top the sweet potatoes with cheese or breadcrumbs: If desired, you can top the stuffed sweet potatoes with grated cheese or breadcrumbs before baking them again. This will give them a golden brown and crispy topping.
