This is actually extremely simple. All you have to do is steam or microwave the cauliflower until its super soft. Soft enough to pierce it with a fork. Then you blend or mash them like you would potatoes.
You cant taste the cauliflower at all and if your worried your family wont like it, start of by mixing it with mashed potatoes.
This is also a healthy alternative to mashed potatoes.
Pork Chops and Apples
I am super excited to bring you the first ever recipe post! The first meal on the list is a perfect Fall dinner. Now technically it is still summer, but its been so cool here lately that its getting me so excited for Fall.
Pork Chops and Apples!
1 medium apple, your favorite kind. I use Gala or Fuji
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 pork rib chops, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
cooking spray for greasing skillet
This meal takes about 15 minutes to prep and about an hour from start to finish. Yields 2 servings, but can be arranged to make more.
Lets get started.
Heat your oven to 350. Cut the apples into quarters, and remove core and seeds. Cut each quarter into 3-4 wedges. Place apple wedges in 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the apples.
Cut most of the fat from the pork chops, if necessary, and throw away. Spray an 8-inch or 10-inch skillet with the cooking spray, and heat over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes. Cook the pork chops in the hot skillet about 5 minutes, turning once, until light brown.
Place the pork chops in a single layer on the apple wedges. Cover with lid or foil; bake about 45 minutes or until the pork is no longer pink when you cut into the center and apples are tender when pierced with a fork. If you use a meat thermometer then it should read 160 degrees.
There you have it, a perfect Fall dish. The sides I like to make with this are mashed cauliflower/potatoes with steamed broccoli and whole grain rolls.
I hope you and your family enjoy this dinner as much as mine did.
