Pork Loin with Bokchoy/Broccoli Stir Fry!

[thoreau]

Wowsers did we eat like a pair of spoiled queens tonight!?

I baked a center cut pork loin smothered in red pepper sauce (3 large thick-fleshed red peppers, a tiny bit of dijon mustard, 1/2 cup sour cream combined in the blender till smooth) and leeks cooked down in butter and white wine. I served it with stirfried bokchoy and broccoli - fried in sesame oil, soy and a 1/2 tblspn of brown sugar and sprinkled generously with a little thyme.

I made drop biscuits with sweet corn and served it up with a hearts of romaine salad with nantes sweet carrots. Everything came out flavorful - and I served the leeks on the side. The sauce and leeks added a lovely flavor to the pork; and the onions browned in the oven and turned out amazingly rich and tasty.

We're both now resembling Macy's floats - but contented ones. :)

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy!!!

So, are these recipes you came up with or do you usually use a cookbook or Food Channel Diva's recipes?

half and half? tonight was all out of my head - but it was relatively easy - and stuff I'd used in other recipes. I am a big big fan of Tyler Florence - I use his stuff A LOT.

While Mr. Florence is a native of Charleston, I believe, guess where he, his wife and daughter live now?

Sonoma I believe right? :) I've seen him do cooking demos twice since I moved to the Bay Area.

this recipe took almost no time at all actually. the veggies needed cleaned and chopped. and I do that as the pork loin has about 10 minutes left - I leave the veggies on low heat steaming while I up the oven and put in the biscuits. I love cooking and David really likes my cooking. :)so that makes the time you put in worth it. :)

What did David think of the leeks?

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

he didn't even try them - but he'll eat leeks or onions minced into a recipe - its a texture thing more than anything :)

How does one "sprinkle generously with a little thyme"? :) Sounds like a fantastic dinner.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

oh i don'tknow - :) i love thyme so - generously is prolly too much for some people. :) in the wok - I just sprinkle it across the top of the vegetables all the way across.
