Ummm… pork with mashed sweet potatoes and stuffing waffle… yeah.

 

So… stick with me here…. there’s a lot going on.

Pork:

Ingredients
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt
1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Preheat oven to 450.

Mix the top 6 ingredients together.

Rub down the pork on all sides with the spice rub.

Drizzle your oil into a pan and add your garlic. Then, brown your pork on all sides… it takes about 5-8 minutes per side.

After it’s browned, toss it in the oven for about 20 minutes… or until it’s done.

 

Sweet Potatoes:

Preheat the oven to 400

Grab some sweet potatoes.

Peel them and chop them into cubes…

Roast in the oven until soft…check with a fork.

Mash them up, add some butter, maybe some brown sugar or cinnamon.. whatever floats your boat.

 

Apples:

Cut up some apples into slices.

Toss them in a pan with a splash of white vinegar , coat them with honey, two shakes of cinnamon, shake of cloves, shake of nutmeg….. if they’re not sweet enough, add some brown sugar… add a handful of raisins and cook until everything is happy and at the correct level of done-ness.

 

Finally… the stuffing waffle.

So… grab a box of your favorite stuffing. Make it according to the recipe on the box… usually water, butter/oil/margarine….

The instructions on my box of stuffing said to boil water and margarine… add stuffing, remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.

I did the first couple of steps, but pulled the stuffing out when it hit 3 minutes and spooned it into the waffle maker… Stack it high in the waffle maker, as it won’t expand like waffle batter, so you’ve got to make up for that with initial height….

Let it cook in the waffle machine for 5-7 minutes… you might have to flip your waffle maker over to make it easier to remove the stuffing waffle in one piece.

 

And there you go… that’s everything…

And the verdict is….. Awesome… it’s not the most photographic thing.. it’s kinda monochromatic.. it could have used something green… or maybe red… some cranberry sauce would have done it…

But… now that I have the stuffing waffle in the arsenal… I’m planning on a Thanksgiving waffle.. with some cut turkey breast on top with maybe some cranberry syrup, or just good ol gravy….
