Day 8: Braised Pork with Normandy Potatoes and Herb Bread
Today’s dish was born in a kitchen that did not even have a good knife. The food was cooked, put into Tupperware, and then taken to a bar where my friends and I watched the Penguins triumph over the Red Wings.
To keep it short, the pork loin was braised in olive oil, white wine, and butter along with onions, garlic, and a good amount of rosemary. I then made a sauce by adding dijon mustard and white wine vinegar.
The potatoes where cooked with pancetta, green onions, and yellow onions in meat stock. After cooking I added heavy cream and allowed it to reduce to deliciousness.
The herb bread contains thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and olive oil along with the standard ingredient of the bread.
Comments from some of the people who ate the food:
“Pretty tasty” - Matt
“Oh, it was delicious.” -Chris
“It was like rosemary cake.” -Alexa
Sorry the pictures look so bad, they were taken when I was drunk and in a dark bar.
