Pork and Apple with Sweet Potato

My sister-in-law made this about a year ago. I immediately had to have the recipe! I finally cooked it myself this weekend. It is so yummy!

- flour for dredging
- salt and pepper to taste
- (12 oz) pork tenderloin
- evoo
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced with white and green parts separated, OR 1/4 cup yellow onion diced
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- (14 oz) chicken broth
- 1 red apple, cored and cut in wedges
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp butter

Slice pork crosswise (I cut in bite-size pieces). Season with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour. Heat oil in skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, mostly cooked with a little pink in the center. Remove to a plate.

Add white parts of scallions or onion to the skillet, along with sweet potatoes, broth, and cranberries (leave drippings). Cover and let simmer 7-9 minutes, until sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Add apple, cover and simmer 2 minutes, until apples are soft.

Add butter and mustard, stir to melt. Return pork and any juices to skillet. Heat through. Sprinkle wtih green parts of scallions, if used.

This would be a great dish served with a side salad or a green on the side. It is a one-pot meal with lots of flavors blending to an irresistable yumminess!
