Alrighty...y'all asked for it, so here ya go In my post yesterday I made mention of not wanting to post too much stuff and over do things but I was encouraged to post meals that looked really good or had a creative aspect to them. Here is one I did about a week and a half ago but did not post because I'd just posted a different meal. This one was a LOT of fun also. Partly because it was something I'd never done before and partly because I got to play with my new toy, which you'll see in a few minutes. I'd kinda been dreaming about a flavor combination of pineapple and pork for a bit and decided to just go ahead and do it. Here ya go:
Got the pineapple rum compote going
Apply the compote and some black pepper to the pork tenderloins, cover, and let sit in the fridge overnight
Here's the new toy: the tater grater
Here she is in action
Mix grated taters in a bowl with a splash of heavy cream, salt, pepper, chopped green onions and grated cheddar cheese
Put into individual CI baking dishes
Top with some bread crumbs
Got some fresh broccoli in the steamer
Pork and tater casseroles on the Rec Tec
Pork tenderloins all done
Meal plated. Pork sliced and topped with more compote, the broccoli topped with Parmegano Reggiano, and the tater casseroles
Another one that has a unique and creative aspect to it. The rum pineapple compote was a first for me and an outstanding accompaniment to the pork. The flavors just melded incredibly well. As good as that was though, to me the highlight of the meal was the tater casserole. It was so good with the ingredient combination and a nice little hint of smoke. Those will get done again real soon!! Tracy did ask that I forego the bread crumbs next time. She said they really didn't bring much to the party. I'm not gonna argue with her but I kinda liked them The next night we did BLT's and I tossed a handful of the pork into the bacon grease after it was finished cooking. Warmed the pork and added it to my BLT. That was pretty darned good also!! I do have pics but I'm sure your imagination can put that one together Oh well, that about does it for this one. I have a couple more that are photographically documented but not posted. I may go ahead and post them and have honored the wishes of all the folks who provided positive reinforcement in my thread yesterday.
Y'all have a great weekend!!
