One Pan, Cider-Glazed Pork w Sweet Potato and Shallots

This crowd-pleasing, easy, one pot supper is speedy enough for weeknights but special enough to serve to guests too!  A tender and juicy pork loin is served nestled with roasted sweet potato, shallots, and sage with a delicate cider glaze for a flavor combination everyone will love.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb boneless pork loin trimmed of fat
  • 2 1/2 tsp kosher salt divided
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 TB olive oil
  • 6 shallots large, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups Granny Smith apples peeled and sliced
  • 5 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 TB fresh sage additional for garnish
  • 3/4 tsp allspice
  • 2 TB cider vinegar
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 2 TB butter unsalted
  • chives chopped for garnish

 

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pat pork dry and season with 1 ½ tsp salt and pepper.
  • Toss shallots (or red onion), sweet potato, apple, garlic, sage, remaining 1 tsp kosher salt, and allspice in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil and toss to coat.
  • Heat remaining 2 tsp olive oil in a large oven safe skillet over high heat. Sear pork on all sides, approximately 3-4 mins per side.
  • Nestle vegetables and apples around pork and roast in oven for 30-35 minutes or until pork registers 145 degrees at the center.
  • Remove vegetables to a serving platter and pork to a carving board.
  • Place pan on the stovetop over medium heat, add cider vinegar to pan and cook for 1 minute, scraping up browned bits.
  • Add apple cider, increase heat to high, and boil to reduce to a thick, syrupy texture. Swirl in butter.
  • Carve pork into 16 even slices and place on top of vegetables. Drizzle cider glaze evenly over pork slices and serve garnished with chopped sage and chives.
