Or, two ways to enjoy one pork loin.
Night One: Cook your pork loin as desired, making sure it's tender and juicy. Serve with cheese grits and sauteed greens. Some cornbread wouldn't be bad either. This is southern tried, true, and delicious!
Night Two: Shred the leftover pork. Saute chopped onions, garlic, and zucchini in olive oil until tender. Add one can of diced tomatoes and one can of tomato sauce. Stir in a pinch of sugar along with some basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary {or whatever suits your fancy}. Don't forget a splash of red wine if you have it. Add the shredded meat and simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over pasta with a dusting of parmesan. Rosemary focaccia is a very nice compliment for a rustic, homey, and comforting meal.
If you have room for dessert then by all means enjoy Ina Garten's Apple and Pear Crisp. The world will be a deliciously happy place, I promise.
Wow, after nineteen weeks of simply surviving in the kitchen it's nice to be enjoying my food again!

I love those little dessert dishes. So cute!
Yum and thank you. I now know what's for dinner at my house tomorrow and the next night ;)
Sounds delicious. I am going to have to find time to make this.
Both meals sound wonderful. I've been in such a "real food" mood lately.
Gosh that looks a lot better than Cheerios! I bet you're really enjoying your new cooking spot.
Oh, I am going to try this next time we have pork loin. Yum, yum!
By the way...what exactly are cheese grits? While we're at it, what are grits in general??
(Can you tell I'm a NW girl and horribly uninformed in southern ways?)
oh good! I must admit I too am enjoying food quite a bit recently. :) Kelly
Yum! I can almost smell that! How fun to be enjoying your kitchen!
I will be by for any and all leftovers :)
Yum! That leftover pork looks delicious! Would also be good served over rice.
