Sausage

Last of the cheese brats.

Pollo alla Pizzaiola

So the tomato sauce, of “good quality” turned out to be what I had on hand (Kirkland), I added some herbs and spices to add a bit more flavor to it. I used the mozzarella that I had leftover from making pizza last week and it came together pretty quickly and well. Easy to do, pretty good to eat.

Egg and Sausage Sandwich

The little sausage rounds that I’ve been getting from Crooked Gap have been quite tasty and just calls to be used like this. Good things.

Roasted Potatoes, onions and Ring Bologna

I tossed roasted potatoes, onions and chopped ring bologna in olive oil and smoked paprika, pepper and a bit of salt. They were baked on a sheet pan. I kind of thing these should have gone over something, but I couldn’t thing what would make sense to me at the time. But the Ring Bologna added flavor to the potatoes and onions, making nice meal. I know the Ring Bologna is local, and I’m not quite sure where it came from, but in an effort of cleaning out the freezer, here we go.

Pork Tamale Pie

I’ve made this before, and will no doubt make it again. Easy to make, good tasting has a nice flavor to it.

Pan Seared Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin

I had kept missing the few times that Crooked Gap had a pork tenderloin on hand (one per pig, kind of makes it hard to have an abundance of them, ever). I finally was able to obtain one and while this was my original plan, I kept thinking about a mustard pan sauce. So I adjusted what Iw as going to make.

I chopped potatoes and tossed them with olive oil and Momofuku Savory seasoning and baked them in the oven.

I added salt and pepper to the tenderloin, and then seared them off in a pan, getting all sides, and finishing them off with the lid on to get a nice sear on each side. I used butter and some leftover diced red onion, combined with flower, some white wine, stock and dijon mustard. Since I didn’t plan this I had to swap out 2% milk for cream. it made a nice topping for both the pork and potatoes.
