It’s been awhile since I’ve sent a new recipe, so I’m making up for it today by sending two! I really enjoy cooking both recipes together for a few reasons:
- They make a well-rounded meal that includes both animal- and plant-based protein, healthy carbs & fiber, a small-to-moderate amount of fat—but far more flavor than the amount of fat might indicate—and a variety of veggies.
- They require only basic cooking skills.
- Each recipe requires attention at different times, and the entire meal should take less than 35 minutes to make.

A couple final notes:
- You’ll notice that the ingredient lists are written a little differently than what you might be used to seeing. It’s a modified version of a method used to simplify the cooking process. I was first exposed to the idea when reading Tim Ferriss’ book The 4-Hour Chef… which is actually a great book if you currently aren’t very comfortable in the kitchen and/or want to level-up your cooking (and learning) skills.
- To simplify (and speed up) the process of making these recipes together:
- Save prepping the ingredients for the “veggie” recipe until after you put the pork in the oven.
- Set the pork aside when it comes out of the oven, mix the ingredients for the sauce, and then put the sauce on a very low heat to thicken.
- Cook the “veggie” recipe. When it’s finished (about 5 minutes), the sauce will be ready. Add the butter, and you’re good to go!
Give them a try sometime this week, and let me know what your taste buds think!
