Help! How does this sound?

[Skidmore]

I have braised dredged, cubed pork loin with onions, garlic, paprika, and thyme in olive oil, added some broth, and now it is stewing on the stove. I want to add vegetables in about an hour. How does a combination of Yukon Golds, butternut squash, and turnips sound? I need to use these veggies up. If they are a good combination, should I add some other spice, herb, or maybe a tad of some acidic to them--like a chopped tomato or a Granny Smith apple or two?

1. Sounds lovely to me, and...

by all means throw in those apples. :9

2. I just added a cup of apple cider to the stew.

Do you think it needs something green in it? Beans perhaps?

3. The Granny Smith apples are green

if you leave the skin on.

4. Done! It's a pretty stew.

And smells good too. I think I'll make some biscuits. I don't have enough time to make bread and besides, I'm out of yeast. Our lane is a sheet of ice so I don't want to try to get to the highway yet.

6. Irish soda bread

It's done in a flash and it looks and tastes like fresh bread.

In addition, the leftovers make great toast in the morning. Well, if there are leftovers.

5. If you are talking

about a green vegetable to round it out, I might stir in some type of spinach or root vegetable greens not too long before you remove it from the heat. Or serve a nice salad on the side.

Enjoy! :hi:

7. So how was it?

Because you've seriously got my mouth watering. We're only supposed to eat pork loin and too often it's a bit dry. Your dish sounds perfect.

8. What you have described sounds delicious to me. I sometimes think

we forget how good food can taste when we stick with basic combinations and seasonings.
