A favorite among many home chefs, pork is a versatile and delicious protein that can be prepared in countless ways. Today, we’re diving into a classic pork dish that’s sure to become a staple in your recipe repertoire – Other White Meat Pork. This simple and hearty recipe takes succulent pork cuts and pairs them with a medley of flavorful spices and ingredients, creating a dish that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
– 1 lb pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced pork loin cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Sprinkle the paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir well to coat the ingredients with the spices.
4. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Return the browned pork cubes to the skillet, along with any juices that may have accumulated. Stir to combine the pork with the onion and spice mixture.
6. Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Let the mixture simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Taste the pork and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of chicken broth to loosen it up.
8. Once the pork is cooked through and the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the dish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
