pork and potatoes....mmm

Last nights dinner menu:

Pork tenderloin baked in applesauce

Baked onions and potatoes

Canteloupe

The canteloupe was an appetizer and the pork with potatoes was the main dish.

I've grown tired of green beans, corn or brocolli and green beans, corn or brocolli.....canteloupe with dinner was a nice change.

I removed the silver skin from the pork and all the big clumps of fat, rubbed it good with olive oil, salt and pepper. Seared it in a cast iron skillet, once it was nicely browned I poured applesauce over. I put the lid on and threw into the oven, 450 degrees. The pototoes were cubed and the onions sliced thin, tossed with olive oil, salt/pepper, put into a cast iron loaf pan and into the oven. Some of the larger pieces of potatoes were a little crunchy but nothing too terrible. The onions carmelized and browned up nicely giving the potatoes a sweetness and spice. Once the pork was up to temp, I took it out of the oven to rest. It was sliced and the applesauce had thinned out to be a whole new kind of applesauce. I poured the "new applesauce" over my pork and potatoes. Every bite, had attached to it, a sigh of pure enjoyment.

I think out of everyone in the family, I usually enjoy my cooking the most!! Funny how that works.....

We cook the foods we like and cook 'em the way we like 'em!
