TMTT & Crockpot Wednesday ~ Pork Three Ways

Pork was on sale so that what was on the menu at our house... lol. I'm still on the mission to have a different meal each night. So hold on (sorry you non-pork eaters) you'll love these recipes they were easy as you know my moto, Quick, Easy and Yummy!!! Enjoy I hope you all love them!

Panko Pork Tenderloin with Roasted New Potatoes
Panko Pork Tenderloin with Roasted New Potatoes
Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 45 minutes

1 1/2pounds pork tenderloin
2pounds small new potatoes
1/4cup butter, melted
2teaspoons garlic, minced
coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2cup panko bread crumbs
2tablespoons olive oil
1teaspoon dried basil
1teaspoon dried thyme
2tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

[1] Using a potato peeler, peel a 1 inch strip around center of each potato. In a large bowl, combine potatoes with melted butter, garlic and salt and pepper, tossing gently to coat. Place potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.

[2] While potatoes bake, in a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, olive oil, basil, thyme and parsley. Moisten tenderloin with water and roll in breadcrumb mixture, pressing to help adhere.

[3] When potatoes have baked for 20 minutes, place tenderloin on baking sheet with them and continue baking until potatoes are tender and a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion of tenderloins registers 160 degrees, about 25 more minutes. Sprinkle potatoes with parsley and serve with sliced tenderloins.
I used what pork I bought on sale, I'm not picky and I used red potatoes instead of new potatoes. I say use what you have!

Next I had a can of cranberry I wanted to use up so I searched and tada found this recipe.
Country Style Ribs with Cranberry Relish

Country Style Ribs with Cranberry Relish

Ingredients:

  • 1 to 1 1/2 pounds boneless pork ribs, country-style
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 cup cranberry relish
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic or cider vinegar
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

In a food storage bag, toss the ribs with flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Cook ribs in hot oil for 5 minutes; turn, add onions to the pan, and cook for 5 minutes longer. Combine apple juice, cranberry relish, and vinegar; pour over pork. Cover the pan, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 25 minutes, depending on thickness of the pork, until pork is cooked through. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Serve pork with sauce. Serves 4 to 6.

ALEXIS NOTE: I didn't have relish so I used my can of cranberry sauce, turned out just fine! I served mine with asparagus.

  16. Bill and I really like pork, so I'll have to try the Panko Pork Tenderloin and the Cranberry Apricot Pork Roast. I've always wanted to try panko but haven't found a recipe I wanted to use it with. I also LOVE to cook pork in my slow-cooker, it comes out SO tender. I really like mixing the sweet and savory flavors when I make pork and this recipe sounds great. Thanks! :-)
