with Roasted Broccoli, Mashed Potatoes & Cherry Sauce

Yield: 2

Cinnamon Paprika Spice – A little something smoky and sweet to amp up the flavor of tender roasted pork. Our trick for the creamiest-ever mashed potatoes? Always save a scoop of potato cooking liquid before draining. Adding a few splashes of that starchy liquid while mashing helps your potatoes reach a smooth consistency.

Pork & vegetable:

• 2scallions
• 8oz broccoli florets
• 12oz pork tenderloin
• 1TBS smoky cinnamon paprika spice

Sauce:

• ¼tsp smoky cinnamon paprika spice
• 4TBS cherry jam
• 2½tsp white wine vinegar
• 1TBS butter

Mashed potatoes:

• 12oz potatoes, mixed baby
• 2TBS sour cream
• 2TBS butter
• 2tsp cooking oil
• 2tsp olive oil

Cook potatoes:

Adjust rack to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry produce.

Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Place in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.

Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes to pot.

Keep covered off heat until ready to mash.

Prep & roast broccoli:

Trim and thinly slice scallions.

Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.

Roast pork:

Meanwhile, pat pork dry with paper towels, rub with a large drizzle of olive oil.

Season generously all over with salt and pepper. Reserve ¼ tsp Cinnamon Paprika Spice in a small microwave-safe bowl for the next step, rub pork all over with remaining Cinnamon Paprika Spice.

Place pork on a second baking sheet and roast on middle rack until cooked through, 18-20 minutes.

Transfer to a cutting board to rest for at least 5 minutes.

Make sauce:

To bowl with reserved Cinnamon Paprika Spice, add jam and half the vinegar (save the rest for another use), stir to combine.

Microwave until warm, 30-60 seconds. Stir in 1 TBS butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper.

Mash potatoes:

Mash drained potatoes until smooth, stir in scallions, sour cream, and 1 TBS butter.

If needed, stir in reserved potato cooking liquid a splash at a time until potatoes are creamy.

Season with salt and pepper.

Finish & serve:

Slice pork crosswise. Divide pork, mashed potatoes, and broccoli between plates. Drizzle sauce over pork and serve.
