How To Make roast pork with sweet potatoes
-
1Preheat oven to 400^. Season the pork tenderloins lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside. --- In a small bowl stir together the molasses, rosemary, mustard and half the pepper flakes. Set aside.
-
2In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes,remaining pepper flakes and 1 1/2 Tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with s&p and toss to coat the potatoes evenly. Brush a large foil lined and rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a space in the center of the pan(that's where the tenderloins will go, later). Place pan in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
-
3In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining olive oil; add the pork and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes.(do not wash skillet, will use later) --- Remove potatoes from the oven and place the pork in the center,. Brush the pork and potatoes with some of the molasses mixture.
-
4Return pan to the oven and roast until the potatoes are tender and the meat registers 145^ on an instant-read thermometer , about 15 minutes. Remove all to a warm platter. Using the same skillet above and only 1 Tablespoon of the fat in the pan, add the shallot and cook over medium-high heat, stirring to scrape up the browned bits in pan,until shallot begins to soften. Add the remaining molasses mixture and the broth and bring to a boil, stirring and simmer until the sauce thicken slightly about 4 minutes. Slice the pork and drizzle with the sauce. Serve remaining sauce at the table.
