Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
- Cook the Pork:
- If using sous vide, set your immersion circulator to 135°F and cook the pork for 3 hours. After cooking, quickly sear the pork in a hot pan for a minute on each side to develop a nice crust. Slice it into bite-sized pieces.
- If cooking by another method, ensure the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F.
- Prepare the Chutney:
- In a frying pan, caramelize the onions over high heat. Add water as needed to deglaze the pan until the onions are golden brown.
- Add the diced peaches, dried cranberries, cinnamon, Swerve brown sugar, ginger paste, and honey alternative to the pan. Simmer until thickened and fragrant, about 10-15 minutes.
- Prepare Sides:
- Follow package instructions to prepare the Idahoan mashed potatoes and Stove Top stuffing.
- Assemble Your Bowl:
- Start with a base of mashed potatoes, add a generous scoop of stuffing, top with sliced pork, and finish with a hearty serving of cranberry peach chutney.
- Serve and Enjoy!
- Mix everything together for a delightful sweet-and-savory experience or keep components separate for a more structured presentation.
Tips for Success
- Searing Pork: If you prefer crispy edges on your pork, ensure your pan is hot enough before searing.
- Chutney Variations: Feel free to experiment with additional spices or even add some chopped nuts for extra texture.
- Make Ahead: The chutney can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, making it an excellent option for meal prep.
