Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash and dry all produce. Adjust rack to upper position and preheat oven to 425°F. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating greens and whites. Peel carrots and sweet potatoes; cut both into ½-inch cubes.
- Place carrots and sweet potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Scoop out ¼ cup cooking water, then drain and return cubes to pot.
- Meanwhile, toss broccoli with a large drizzle of olive oil and a big pinch of salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast in oven until crisp and edges are tender, 15-20 minutes.
- While broccoli roasts, pat pork dry with a paper towel and season all over with salt, pepper and half the paprika. Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside on a plate to rest. Wipe out pan.
- Melt 1 tbsp butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Add scallion whites and cook, stirring, until just softened, about 1 minute. Whisk in stock concentrate, mustard, honey and ½ cup water. Simmer until reduced, 2-4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and whisk in 2 tbsp sour cream and 1 tbsp butter. Remove from heat. Season gravy with salt, pepper and remaining paprika. Set aside.
- Mash carrots and sweet potatoes in the pot until smooth. Stir in remaining sour cream and 3 tbsp butter. Season with salt and pepper. If too stiff, stir in reserved cooking water 1-2 tbsp at a time until creamy.
- Divide broccoli, mash and pork between plates. Stir any juices released by pork into gravy. Spoon gravy over pork. Sprinkle everything with scallion greens and serve.
Recipe Tips
For extra-crispy broccoli, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; give florets space to roast.
Let the pork rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.
If the mash is too thick, add the reserved cooking water gradually until it reaches your desired consistency.
