I got the idea for this dish from McCoy's in Kansas City (and I had a bunch of apples to use up) . . . McCoy's had a special a little while back, that was a pork chop with a red grape sauce, and served it with the most delicious sweet potato mash ever!
Roasted Pork Tenderlion with Apple and Onion Compote & Sweet Potato Mash
1 pork tenterlion
olive oil + seasoning
2-3 large sweet potatoes
1 cup vegetable / chicken stock
2-4 tbs ghee
1 large onion
2 apples
1/2 cup white wine
2 tbs red wine vinager
First for this recipe, get yourself a pork tenderloin and rub it down with some olive oil, and spices. I use salt, pepper and a little garlic. Then roast that piggy in the oven at 400 for about 25 min. :-)
While that is cooking get your peeled and cubed sweet potatoes in some boiling water, and cook them until the are soft. then drain them, and add about a half a cup of chicken or vegetable stock. (I used homemade veggie stock) . . . then add in about 2 tbs of ghee (I make my own) and MASH! Season with salt and pepper, I think i added a dash of cinnamon as well.
Now for the onions and apples. Heat a large sized skillet to medium, and add either olive oil or ghee. Add your thinly sliced green (or red) apples and onions. Let them brown a little, and release some of their liquids. Then add, 2 tbs red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup of white wine, and 1/2 of your veggie or chicken stock you used earlier with your potatoes. Let this simmer for a little while until it's reduced some.
After the pork has rested, slice it up, and serve it with a good portion of the apple and onion compote on top. Then add your sweet potato mash, and whatever other side you want. I opted for sauteed green beans. :-) Enjoy!
