Pork Filets with Apple Slices
Pork Filets with Apple Slices and Brown Sugar. It turned out to be super tasty and the whole meal was on the table in under 30 minutes.
You might opt to replace the snap peas and grilled sweet potato slices with other starches and veggies but this combo worked out great. And it’s easy!
Put a stovetop grill or a large skillet on at medium high and spray oil it. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into about 1/4″- 3/8″ slices. Spread out the slices on the grill or skillet. They will take about 4-8 minutes a side.
Light the broiler. Core and slice the apples. Cut the onion into strips and chop up the garlic. Put 2 skillets on at medium high with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil each.
Thin pork slices work out best for quick and easy.
Thicker ones are fine but, of course, take a little longer to cook. These thin ones just take a minute or less a side. Salt and pepper them and cook them up.
Top the pork filets with the apple slices.
Sprinkle brown sugar on the apple slices. Just enough to cover the slices but not so thick that it piles up. Put the skillet under the broiler.
If the sweet potato slices are cooked to the degree of softness that you want put the pan in the oven on a low rack under the pork filets rack.
Put the onion and garlic into their skillet and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. As soon as the onion strips start to soften up a just a little add the snap peas and squeeze in the lemon juice. Of course toss in the lemon rinds. Don’t let the snap peas get the least bit soggy. Toss them often and cook for just a minute to a minute and a half so they are still “snappy”.
