PORK CHOP PACKS
Here's an easy dinner my Grandmother used to make. Pork chops are cooked with sweet potatoes, onions and apple in a little foil packet. Very simple and easy to make for one or for the whole crew. Serve with rice.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Lay out a piece of aluminum foil large enough to hold the ingredients. Place the pork chops, on the foil, then place the sweet potato, onion and apple over the chops. Fold up and seal each package.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes, or until the potato is soft when pricked with a fork. (Note: Do not open packages while baking as this will allow the steam to escape and will dry out the pork chops. Also, be careful when opening as the steam can burn.)

PERFECT ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES
The trick to flavorful and moist pork tenderloin is to sear the pork before roasting. In our recipe, the pork is seared and then is baked on top a bed of apples and onions. Most often, you will find that pork tenderloins are sold in packages with two tenderloins. One tenderloin should generously serve 2 people and most likely serve 3. One note, "pork tenderloins" and "pork loin" are two different cuts of meat. Pork tenderloins are much thinner and take less time to cook.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Trim each tenderloin of any silver skin (this can be tough when cooked). To do this, use a small sharp knife and slide the blade under and outward to remove it.
- Pat pork dry with paper towels and then rub with one tablespoon of the oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a heavy-bottomed oven-safe skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot and shimmers, add the pork tenderloins and cook, occasionally turning, until evenly browned all over; about 12 minutes. Transfer to a large plate or cutting board. (The pork will not be cooked through).
- Keep the pan used to sear the pork on the stove over medium heat. Check the pan, if it looks dry, add two to three teaspoons of additional oil. (If there is fat left in the pan from cooking the pork, there is no need to add extra oil).
- Add the apples and onions then cook, occasionally stirring, until lightly browned around edges, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of thyme.
- Use a pastry brush (or use your fingers) to rub the seared pork all over with the mustard, 2 teaspoons of thyme, and the black pepper. Place the seared pork tenderloins on top of the apples and onions, and then slide into the oven.
- Roast 10 to 15 minutes or until an internal thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers between 145 and 150 degrees F. Transfer the pork to a large plate and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest about 10 minutes.
- While the pork rests, place the pan with apples and onions back onto the stove and turn heat to medium. Add chicken stock and use a wooden spoon to scrape the pan, lifting any brown bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Add butter and stir until melted.
- To serve, slice pork into 1-inch slices then serve on a bed of the apples and onions with pan sauce drizzled on top.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Sear the meat until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
- Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, herb sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sliced apples, then push the mixture to the sides and set the pork loin in the middle of the skillet along with any collected juices on the plate. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 140 to 150 degrees F, about 30 to 35 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
- Transfer the pork a cutting board and cover it loosely with foil while you make the sauce. Arrange the apples and vegetables on a serving platter and set aside. Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Return the skillet to a high heat and add the vinegar scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Reduce by half then add the cider and reduce by about half again. Pull the skillet from the heat and whisk in the mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove the strings from the roast and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange over the apple mixture. Drizzle some sauce over meat and serve the rest on the side.
- Cook's Note: Pork cooked this way will be slightly pink. If desired, cook the pork to 160 degrees F, but be aware that this lean cut will not be as moist at the higher temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- To make the foil bag, fold the foil in half width-wise with the non-shiny side on the outside. Fold the edges over approximately 1/2 cm, then again another 1/2 cm on each side, creating crisp double-folded edges on both sides. You should now have a 2-ply envelope. Lightly spray the inside of the foil bag with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spray a small pan with non-stick cooking spray or oil spray. Heat the pan and cook the pork chop for 1-2 minutes on either side until lightly golden.
- Place half the apple slices into the foil bag in a layer.
- Remove the pork chop from the pan and spread whole grain mustard onto one side, sprinkle with brown sugar and place mustardy side down on top of the apples. Spread the exposed side of the chop with mustard and sprinkle with brown sugar then season with salt and pepper. Lay the remaining apple slices over the top of the meat and carefully pour in the stock.
- Seal the foil bag folding the edge over twice. Place on a baking tray and bake for 30 minutes, turning the bag over once half way through the cooking time.
- Turn the contents onto a warm plate and serve with steamed baby potatoes and a green vegetable, or rice left over from a previous meal and the bake bag veges.

APPLE ROASTED PORK WITH CHERRY BALSAMIC GLAZE
I added roasted apples, cherries and onions to turn ordinary pork into an impressive dish. There is a short time span between caramelized onions and burned ones, so pay close attention once they start cooking. -Josh Downey, McHenry, Illinois
