Pork For Peasants Recipes

FRENCH PEASANT SUPPER

Steps:

• Turn on the broiler.
• Heat the oil in an extra-deep 12 inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, cut the pork chops into 1/2-inch cubes, adding them to the skillet as you cut.
• Slice the sausages into 1/4-inch circles, adding them as you cut.
• Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
• Peel and coarsely chop the onion, adding it to the skillet as you chop.
• Stir in the water, wine, ketchup, honey, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, black pepper, and cloves and cook until the pork cubes are no longer pink, about 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
• (Reduce the heat to medium if the pork seems about to burn.) Meanwhile, rinse and drain the beans and set aside.
• Spread the bread crumbs evenly on a cookie sheet and toast under the broiler until crisp and light brown; leave the oven door cracked and don't walk away- they brown quickly!
• (If you are really distracted, you can omit the bread crumbs and skip this step to prevent mishaps.) Set aside.
• Stir the beans into the pork mixture and simmer just long enough to mix well and heat through, about 2 minutes.
• Scatter the toasted crumbs on top and serve.

AMAZING PORK TENDERLOIN IN THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Place pork tenderloin in a slow cooker with the contents of the soup packet. Pour water, wine, and soy sauce over the top, turning the pork to coat. Carefully spread garlic over the pork, leaving as much on top of the roast during cooking as possible. Sprinkle with pepper, cover, and cook on low setting for 4 hours. Serve with cooking liquid on the side as au jus.
