Sometimes, the simplest meals are the tastiest – and this was definitely simple!

I cut a pork tenderloin into 1-inch scallops and lightly browned them in a braising pan. Out they came, and into the pan went

• chopped onion
• sliced shallots
• a chopped leek
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 minced hot pepper,
• 2 red potatoes that had been partially steamed
• 1 diced apple
• 1 can diced green chiles
• cumin
• salt and pepper

The pork went back in, the lid went on, and it all simmered for about 20 minutes.

Tons of flavor and minimal work.
