glazed pork on sweet potato bed

This is the kind of recipe you can 

prep ahead for a big meal later.

I left the meat to marinate

And the potatoes I reheated 

In the oven at supper time!

In a bowl mix:

1 teaspoon cornstarch

3 tablespoons maple syrup

2 teaspoons wasabi mustard (I used deli)

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Add:

1" cubes of pork (I used 1 chop per person)

Stir to coat

Set aside until dinner time.

I prepped this ahead too:

1xl peeled\cubed sweet potato

1 medium apple peeled\cubed

2 potatoes peeled\cubed

Place in a large saucepan 

with water to cover. 

Bring to a boil

Reduce heat, cover 

Cook just until tender *10-12 minutes. 

Drain. 

Mash potatoes and apple. 

Add:

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Mix well and keep warm.

In a large skillet heat:

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

Add meat and marinate

Cook on medium

Adding 1\2 cup water when needed.

Cook 3-5 minutes longer. 

Serve on sweet potatoes 

With a salad.

Make gravy with pan juices 

By removing the meat

Then adding 1 cup of any liquid 

and whisking the mixture till bubbly

If desired.

"Bon appetit!"
