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.

Cider-Dijon Pork Chops with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Apples image

Sautéing is another fast way to make a meal, especially when the pan juices are turned into a sweet and savory sauce, as they are here. This comforting dish features an array of autumn ingredients-apples, fennel, and sweet potatoes-roasted in the oven to caramelize lightly and bring their sugars to the forefront. The sauce, which mingles apple cider with the meaty browned bits in the skillet, is sharpened with a bit of Dijon mustard to balance the sweetness.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Pork
4 boneless pork loin chops (each about 7 ounces and 1 inch thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup apple cider or apple juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 2 pieces
Vegetables and Apples
1 pound red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams), peeled and cut lengthwise in half, then cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces
2 Pink Lady or Fuji apples, cored and cut lengthwise into eighths
1 large fennel bulb, trimmed and cut lengthwise into eighths
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature while the oven preheats. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven and heat until very hot.
  • 2. To cook the vegetables and apples: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes, apples, fennel, and rosemary with the olive oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the vegetables and apples on it. Roast, turning the ingredients over halfway through, for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are nicely browned and tender.
  • 3. Meanwhile, cook the pork: Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then add the chops to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and barely pink when pierced in the center with the tip of a small sharp knife. Transfer to a platter (reserving the oil in the skillet) and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • 4. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon of the oil from the skillet, leaving the brown bits in the pan. Return the pan to medium-low heat, add the apple cider, and bring to a simmer, scraping up the brown bits with a wooden spoon. Whisk in the mustard and simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter to lightly thicken the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • 5. Divide the sweet potato mixture among four dinner plates. Place a pork chop alongside the vegetables on each plate. Drizzle with the pan sauce and serve.

  • If you prefer a crispier pork skin, score the top of the roast before cooking. This will allow the fat to render and create a delicious crackling.
  • Don't overcrowd the roasting pan with the vegetables. Give them enough space so that they can roast evenly and caramelize.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of spices and herbs in the recipe to suit your taste preferences. You can also add other vegetables like carrots or parsnips to the roasting pan for a more colorful and flavorful dish.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cut sweet potatoes and apples. Just make sure to toss them with some olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting.

Conclusion:
