Pork & Mushroom Stew with Potato and Apple Mash

By

This stew can be ready to enjoy in about 40 minutes, because the pork tenderloin is so tender, that it doesn't need a low and slow braise. The sauce is packed with flavor from leeks, carrots, thyme, sherry (or white wine) and some apple cider. A splash of heavy cream gives a silky texture to the sauce, and it's even better with mashed potatoes that has roasted garlic and chunks of apple.

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil and butter in a sauté pan over medium-high. Add pork and sauté until brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove pork to a plate; set aside.

Sweat mushrooms, leeks, and carrot in same pan over medium heat until softened, 3–4 minutes. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute.

Deglaze the pan with sherry, scraping up any bits on bottom of pan, and reduce until evaporated. Stir in cider and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add pork with residual juices and 1 Tbsp. thyme. Simmer stew until thickened, 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Garnish each serving with diced apple and a sprig of thyme.

For the potatoes:
Cook potatoes (I prefer to use Yukon Gold), and mash. Add half the diced green apple and, for extra flavor, add some roasted garlic. Layer a bowl with potatoes and heap on some of that delicious stew.
