Paper Towel
Potato Masher

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Cook Potatoes
1

Wash and dry all produce. Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Place in a medium pot with a pinch of salt and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced by a knife, about 12 minutes. Drain, then return to pot.

Prep and Sear Pork
2

Trim woody bottom ends from asparagus. Mince chives. Cut lemon into wedges. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Pat pork dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 TSBP flour (we sent more). Cook in pan until just browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet, placing toward one side.

Bake Pork and Veggies
3

Toss asparagus with a large drizzle of oil on empty side of sheet with pork. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in oven until asparagus starts to brown and pork reaches desired doneness, 7-10 minutes. (TIP: If pork is done before asparagus, remove from sheet and let asparagus finish.) Let pork rest on a plate for 5 minutes after it’s done.

Make Gravy
4

Pour out any grease in pan used for pork. Add 2 TBSP butter and remaining flour to same pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until butter is melted and a pasty mixture has formed, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in demi-glace, thyme sprigs, and ⅔ cup water until smooth. Simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat. Stir in a squeeze of lemon.

Mash Potatoes
5

Add ½ cup milk and chives to pot with drained potatoes (add the chives to taste—you may not use all). Mash with potato masher or fork until smooth. Season generously with salt and pepper. TIP: Add more milk if needed to give potatoes a creamy consistency.

Plate and Serve
6

Stir any juices released by pork into gravy in pan. Divide potatoes, pork, and asparagus between plates. Remove and discard thyme sprigs from gravy, then spoon gravy over everything. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.
