How to Make Autumn Pork Skillet
- Cut 1 lb boneless pork loin into 1/2-inch slices. Sprinkle each slice with 1 tsp garlic salt.
- Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork slices in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Return all browned pork and any accumulated juices to the skillet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup apple juice and 2 tbsp flour until smooth.
- Pour the apple juice mixture into the skillet.
- Add 1 medium sliced apple, 1/2 cup Sun-Maid raisins, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp ground ginger.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the pork is tender.
- Remove the pork, apples, and raisins from the skillet and transfer to a serving dish. Keep warm.
- If using, bring the pan juices to a boil over medium heat. Stir in 1/4 cup whipping cream.
- Cook until the sauce slightly thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
- Pour the cream sauce (or pan juices without cream) over the pork, apples, and raisins.
- Garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions.
- Serve immediately over cooked white rice.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
