Found this German recipe on one of my favorite vegetarian websites. Leeks & apples go quite well together so I'm looking forward to trying this. When i do get to it, I'm thinking of adding a bit of fresh sage. Posted for the Zaar World Tour

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pork tenderloins (1 1/2 to 2 pounds total), trimmed of excess fat and silver skin
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 leeks, white and light-green parts only, halved lengthwise, and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces

1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar or red-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. On a broilerproof rimmed baking sheet, rub pork with 1 tablespoon oil; generously season with salt and pepper. Broil, until pork registers 145 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest, 10 minutes (temperature will rise about 5 degrees as it sits).
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium. Add leeks and fennel seeds; cook, stirring occaionally, until leeks are tender, about 6 minutes. Add apples, and cook, tossing, until just beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in honey and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice pork, and serve with apples and leeks.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples. Gala apples are a good choice for sautéing because they hold their shape well and have a slightly tart flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the leeks.
  • Slice the apples and leeks thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a large skillet. This will give the apples and leeks plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Cook the apples and leeks over medium heat. This will help them caramelize and develop a deep flavor.
  • Stir the apples and leeks frequently. This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Season the apples and leeks with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, to taste.
  • Serve the sautéed apples and leeks immediately. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Sautéed gala apples and leeks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course. The apples and leeks are cooked in butter until they are tender and caramelized, and they are then seasoned with salt and pepper. This dish is a great way to use up leftover apples and leeks, and it is also a healthy and flavorful option for a weeknight meal.
