Pork loin, roasted broccoli, potato wedges, and stir-fried broccoli stems

This was a quick meal from stuff I had laying around. Pork was seared in the instapot the cooked on high for 20 in a mix of apple juice, lemon juice, beef broth, and garlic chili paste. Potatoes could have been roasted longer. There wasn't enough color on them. I just roasted them until the broccoli was done.

The broccoli stems were a surprise hit. I regret all the times I threw them out. I slice them thin at an angle, then stir fried them on high and finished with garlic chili paste and soy sauce. They are SO GOOD!

It looks like they're all afraid of each other.

Haha. Yeah, this is not the best plating I've done. The picture was kinda last second.

In hindsight I wish I had taken some of the juice from the pork and reduced it to a glaze to pour over it. Next time.

As I looked at your photo, I thought to myself, "that would look even better with a glaze."

Apple juice and pork, always a winner. You could have taken some of that pork broth mixture and braised the potatoes. I do feel bad when I toss out broccoli stems but I know that my chickens enjoy them even if I'm not eating them. Sometimes I'll save them for making a slaw.
