Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Peel and dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim thick ends from baby broccoli. Zest and quarter lemon (for 4, zest one lemon and quarter both). Halve, peel, and mince shallot.

Start Mashed Potatoes
2
  • Place potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.

  • Reserve ½ cup cooking liquid (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain. 

  • Return potatoes to pot and keep covered, off heat until ready to mash in Step 7.

Roast Baby Broccoli
3
  • While potatoes cook, toss baby broccoli on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, lemon zest, half the Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper (for 4 servings, spread broccoli out across entire sheet).

  • Roast on top rack for 8 minutes (you'll add more to the sheet then).

Sear Pork
4
  • While broccoli roasts, pat pork* dry with paper towels; season with remaining Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 6-8 minutes.

  • Turn off heat.
Roast Pork
5
  • Once broccoli has roasted 8 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully transfer pork to empty side. Return to top rack and roast until broccoli is tender and pork is cooked through, 8-12 minutes. (For 4 servings, leave broccoli roasting; add pork to a second sheet and roast on middle rack.)
  • Wipe out pan used for pork and let rest at least 5 minutes.
Make Shallot Gravy
6
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add shallot; cook, stirring often, until softened and fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

  • Stir in flour, stock concentrate, ⅓ cup water, and a squeeze of lemon juice (⅔ cup water and two squeezes for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook until liquid is reduced by half, 2-3 minutes.

  • Turn off heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Season with salt and pepper.

Finish & Serve
7
  • Return pot with potatoes to low heat. Add sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Mash, until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Thinly slice pork crosswise.

  • Divide pork, mashed potatoes, and baby broccoli between plates. Top pork and potatoes with shallot gravy. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: The shallot pan sauce was the highlight for many — rich, savory, and a perfect match for the chicken and potatoes.
  • Ease of prep: There is quite a bit of juggling between the stove and oven, and several reviewers noted it took longer than expected.
  • Suggestions: Some found the baby broccoli tough after roasting; keep a close eye on it and pull it early if you prefer a more tender bite. A few felt the lemon zest didn't adhere well to the broccoli, so toss it thoroughly before roasting.
  • Portions: A couple of reviewers felt the gravy and potato portions were on the smaller side, so consider scaling up the sauce if you love extra gravy.

The only option for this recipe was chicken cutlets, but it was treated like a swap and still gave instructions for pork. The swap instructions didn't account for the stove/oven combo. The broccoli was tasty.

Shallot sauce wasn't very saucy. Broccoli was a little tough to chew.

I didn't really like the lemon in the shallot gravy. But overall a pretty good meal.
