Ingredients
- 1 AdapTable Meals® Whiskey Black Pepper Pork Loin Filet (or a 1-2 pound pork loin)
- ½ -1 pound brussels sprouts ends removed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- optional: mashed potatoes for serving
Cranberry Glaze
- ½ cup whiskey
- ¾ cup water
- 1 ½ cups cranberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 fresh thyme sprigs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- While the pork sears, toss the brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Once the pork is seared on all sides, arrange the brussels sprouts around the pork. Roast uncovered in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees F and the brussels sprouts are tender.
- Once done, remove the pork to a cutting board and transfer the brussels sprouts to a serving dish.
Cranberry glaze
- Place the same skillet on the stove over medium-high heat and add the whiskey to deglaze the skillet. Let the whiskey simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until reduced by half.
- Add the remaining cranberry glaze ingredients and simmer over medium heat until the glaze is thickened and the cranberries burst, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs before serving.
- Slice the pork and drizzle with cranberry glaze. Serve with the roasted brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes.
