Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and roast the sweet potato
Heat the oven to 400°F.
- Scrub or peel the sweet potato. Cut the potato in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons.
On a sheet pan, drizzle the sweet potato with 2 to 3 teaspoons oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer and roast, turning once halfway through, until the potato is tender and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Prep and cook the pork
- Pat the pork dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil until hot but not smoking. Add the pork and cook, turning frequently, until browned but still faintly pink within, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate, reserving the pan with the drippings for the sauce. Meanwhile, prepare the salad.
3
Make the plum-fennel salad
- Cut the fennel lengthwise into quarters and cut away the core; thinly slice the quarters lengthwise.
- Cut the plum in half and remove the pit; cut the fruit into ¼-inch-thick wedges.
- Zest and juice the lemon, keeping the zest and juice separate. [Zest and juice 1 lemon; save the remaining lemon for another use.]
In a medium bowl, combine the fennel, plum, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice. Drizzle with 2 to 3 teaspoons oil, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
4
Make the pan sauce
- Peel and finely chop enough onion to measure ⅓ cup [⅔ cup].
To the pan used for the pork, add the onion and thyme, season with salt, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir or whisk in ¼ cup [½ cup] white wine (from your pantry) or water and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir or whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons butter (from your pantry) or oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the pork, sweet potato, and plum-fennel salad to individual plates. Drizzle the pork with the pan sauce and serve.
