How do you cook pork?

It is important to cook pork properly, as eating undercooked or raw pork can cause a bad infection. In a pan on medium heat, it only takes 5-10 minutes to cook thoroughly. If you are in doubt, you can cut off a part of the meat and check that the meat is white all the way through. Avoid overcooking pork as the meat can become dry and rubbery.

Instructions

Prepare the apple and shallots

• Finely dice the shallots.
• Remove the apple core, and thinly slice the apple.
• Add 1 tbsp butter to a pan on medium heat.
• Add the shallots and apple to the pan, and cook for a few minutes until softened. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Cook the pork

• Optionally, cut the fatty bits off the pork.
• To the same pan, melt 1 tbsp butter and add the meat.
• Add salt and pepper to the pork.

Make the sauce

Notes

This recipe is made in one pan. The flavors get to work together and create a flavorful, creamy sauce. First we cook the apples and shallots, then the meat, then the sauce, and finally we combine all the ingredients. This dish is best served immediately, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Replace the shallot

Instead of 3 small shallots, you can use 1 small red onion.
