Cooking Steps

Cook potatoes
1

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min. Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat.

Cook pork
2

Meanwhile, pat pork dry with paper towels. Season with half the garlic salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then pork. Pan-fry until golden, 1-2 min per side, then transfer to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 8-12 min.**

Make sauce
3

Meanwhile, reheat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions. Cook, stirring often, until softened, 2-3 min. Add Cream Sauce Spice Blend and remaining garlic salt. Stir until onions are coated, 30 sec. Add 1 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl), soy sauce, broth concentrate and half the balsamic glaze. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 3-4 min. Season with pepper, to taste.

Make salad
4

Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces. Add remaining balsamic glaze and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Add spinach and tomatoes, then toss to coat.

Mash potatoes
5

When potatoes are fork-tender, roughly mash in cream and 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) until slightly mashed. (NOTE: 'Smashed' potatoes will still have a few chunks!) Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Finish and serve
6

When pork is done, transfer to a plate to rest. Stir any pork juices from the baking sheet into sauce. Thinly slice pork. Divide pork, potatoes and salad between plates. Spoon sauce over pork and potatoes.
