Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Make the sweet potato–cabbage mash
- Peel the sweet potato. Cut the potato in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
In a medium sauce pot, add the sweet potato and enough lightly salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] cooking water.
Return the vegetables to the pot and add 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] cooking water. Using the back of a spoon or a masher, coarsely mash the vegetables, adding more cooking water as needed to reach the desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm. While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the rest of the meal.

Prep the remaining ingredients
- In a small bowl or cup, mix the vegetable broth concentrate with 1 cup [2 cups] warm water and stir to combine.
- Peel and finely chop enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
- Peel the apple if desired; core and cut into ¼-inch pieces.
- Pat the pork dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper

Cook the pork and apple pan sauce
In a medium [large] frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the pork and cook, turning frequently, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add the onion to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-high heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the onion starts to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the apple and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vegetable broth, pork, and any accumulated juices and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned but still faintly pink within and the sauce has thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the pork and sweet potato–cabbage mash to individual plates. Top the pork with the apple pan sauce and serve.
