Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the vegetables, apple, and broth
- Peel and coarsely chop enough onion to measure ¾ cup [1½ cups].
- Peel the apple if desired; core and cut into ½-inch pieces.
- Cut away any core from the cabbage; thinly slice the cabbage.
- Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves. Divide into two equal portions, one for the cabbage and one for garnish.
- In a small bowl or cup, mix the vegetable broth concentrate with 1 cup [2 cups] warm water and stir to combine.
2
Prep and brown the pork
- Pat the pork dry with a paper towel; season with salt, pepper, and the warm spice blend.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the pork and cook, turning once, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
3
Cook the vegetables and fruit; finish the pork
In the same pan used for the pork, if dry, add 2 teaspoons [4 tsp] oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown and soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the apple, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the apple is slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cabbage, cranberries, and half the parsley and cook until the cabbage starts to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the vegetable broth.
Add the pork and any accumulated juices, nestling the pork among the vegetables. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the broth is thickened slightly and the pork is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the vegetables and fruit to individual plates and top with the pork and sauce. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.
