Sautéed Pork Loin with Apples and Broccoli


Hi Everyone! Sorry for the hiatus but I was on vacation for a couple weeks. One of my favorite things about fall is apples and spices. Well this recipe is a great combination of sweet apples and savory spices with a nice crunch from the broccoli. If you do not eat pork this recipe will work just as well with chicken breast. Hope everyone is enjoying their October. 




Ingredients:
1 pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat and sliced into 1-inch pieces
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground chipotle chile pepper
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 apples, thinly sliced
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
1/4 cup apple cider
2 heads broccoli, florets separated
1 small sprig of fresh thyme


Directions:
1) In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, chipotle chile pepper, nutmeg, and ground coriander. Sprinkle both sides of the sliced pork with the spice mixture.

2) Heat a large skillet over medium high. Sauté the pork for about 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through and browned all over. Remove from pan and cover to keep warm.

3) Back in the pan, spray pan with cooking spray. Add the shallots and sauté until they start to soften, 2 minutes. Add the apples and broccoli to the pan, continuing to sauté until another 2 minutes. Add the apple cider and sauté two more minutes.

4) Place the pork (with the accumulating juices) back in the pan and cook about a minute longer, incorporating the flavors.

5) Serve dish garnished with fresh thyme leave

Enjoy!
