ROAST PORK WITH GREEN APPLES AND GOLDEN SQUASH

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425°F. Spray a roasting pan with vegetable cooking spray.
• Brush the pork with the oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Place the pork in the pan. Stir the apples, squash, brown sugar, cinnamon, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup stock in a large bowl. Add the apple mixture to the pan.
• Roast for 25 minutes or until the pork is cooked through, stirring the apple mixture once during roasting. Remove the pork from the pan and keep it warm. Roast the apple mixture for 15 minutes or until it's browned. Remove the apple mixture from the pan.
• Stir the remaining stock and flour in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth. Stir the stock mixture in the pan. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until the mixture boils and thickens, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Serve the stock mixture with the pork and apple mixture.

PORK WITH GREEN FIGS AND APPLES

Steps:

• In medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown pork, about 1 1/2 minutes a side. As each batch is done, set it aside in a bowl. When last batch has browned on one side, turn pork and stir in onions. Continue to cook, stirring, until onions are slightly softened and brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in mustard, and then scrape mixture into the bowl with the browned pork.
• Lower heat slightly, and place figs in bottom of saucepan. Toss apples in lemon juice, and then sprinkle apples over figs. Return pork and onions to pan.
• Add 1 cup water, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Cover. Bring to boil. Lower heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Pork will be cooked through, and figs and apples will be almost completely disintegrated. Stir in remaining salt.
• Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup water until smooth. Add a few ladles of hot fig sauce to cornstarch mixture, and then stir it into the pot. Bring to boil. Lower heat, and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and pepper.
