Dinner today was a day to play in the kitchen with a friend. I had four recipes to test drive so we got together today and hit it.
German-style pork tenderloin with caramelized onions, raisins, and apple (a variation of the German pork roast I make with beer and apple cider, but did not take as long to cook)
potato pancakes with a twist
warm kale salad
red cabbage with caraway
We took pics of when we plated the tenderloin with the potato pancakes and salad and another with the salad removed and the tenderloin on top of the cabbage. If it were up to me, I'd pick the kale salad (easier to prepare, less time) and prettier on the plate. My friend preferred the cabbage, but she is Czech-German so this was definitely a comfort-food meal for her. She did say she didn't like kale...but then asked if she could take some of the leftover salad home. I guess she liked it. Unfortunately, she forgot the cable for her camera so I am still waiting for the pics.
