Baked Pork Loin w/Apples n Scalloped Potatoes

Image
Sear the Pork Loin in a little olive oil with Sliced apples, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme and Rosemarey. Then add a mix of Whole Grain Mustard, Apple Cider Vinegar and Apple Cider(I did equal parts mustard and vinegar then about a 1/2 a cup of apple cider) Directly over the top of the pork. Bake in the Oven at 350 for about 20 minutes a pound or till desired internal Temp is reached.... I take the lid off towards the end to really brown it up. I cheated this time on the Taters and got a box of Betty Crocker Scalloped, they were good! Baked apple on top of a bite of the pork...NO can Defense!!

5lbs of coals on one side of the gril, sum Red oak pieces from the wood pile and a few apple wood chips...then place the ribs on the other side of the grill and cover....open every 45min to spray with beer... 2.5 hrs start to finish. So Good!  For the Twice baked I bake the tato's the first time and let them cool...scoop out the insides with out damaging the Skin, put all the scooped out potato into a bowl with mayo, Valentina, cayenne, salt n pepper. mix up...then mix in some shredded cheese....add mixture back to the skins and top with Green onion, Bacon, Lincuica and more cheese...bake at 400 for 10-15 till the cheese melts and gets a little brown. Beef Ribs, Linguica, Twice Baked, Grilled Asparagi and Salad....was tremendous!
