Székelyalmás

Something from Transylvania because its that time of year.

Székelyalmás (Pork with apples and cider cream)

Lightly brown sliced pork loin in olive oil and butter




Remove the pork, add onion, minced fresno chili pepper (Holland was not available), sliced tart apples, and cider.  Hard or regular.  I used Samuel Smith's hard cider.  Reduce


Add chicken stock, cream, Dijon mustard, and marjoram.  Its a Saxon thing.


Add the pork back in to fully cook.


Serve over cooked rice.

This is a top self restaurant quality dish that is pure peasant food.  It is remarkable.  So remarkable I forgot to make the Romanian polenta with feta and sour cream.

 

Very nice polenta, G  ~ I assume that the feta is a sub for a similar, local cheese?
