Publix Aprons Recipe: Pork Medallions with Honest Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Brown Sugar Glazed Pork

Ingredients

• 3 fresh garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning
• 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• ¼ cup red wine

Steps

1. Crush garlic into medium bowl; stir in brown sugar and steak seasoning until well blended.
2. Cut pork diagonally into about eight 1-inch-thick slices. Place each pork slice in garlic mixture and lightly press to coat; turn and press again to season both sides (wash hands).
3. Preheat large sauté pan on medium 2–3 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon butter in pan, then add pork; cook 5–6 minutes on each side or until well browned and pork is 145°F (for medium).
4. Remove pork from pan. Stir in wine and remaining 1 tablespoon butter; simmer 1 minute, stirring continually. Serve wine sauce with pork.

Maple Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

• 1 (24-oz) package refrigerated mashed sweet potatoes
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps

1. Combine all ingredients in microwave-safe bowl, cutting butter into small pieces while adding to bowl.
2. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes, stirring once, or until thoroughly heated. Stir and serve.

Apron’s Advice

• Complete your meal with fresh broccoli, French bread, and cheesecake.
• More sweet potatoes than you need? Use fresh instead. Microwave a scrubbed, pierced sweet potato on HIGH 6–8 minutes or until tender. Split; add same stir-ins and brown sugar.
