Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup carrots diced
1 cup mushrooms sliced
2 tablespoon cooking fat beef tallow, lard, or bacon grease
1 ½ lb pork tenderloin cut into 1" thick medallions
1 cup onions chopped
22.5 oz full-fat coconut milk 1 ½ cans
1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 red apples quartered

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F.
Next, cook the pork medallions in 1 tablespoon of cooking fat on medium-high heat for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until well cooked.
2 tablespoon cooking fat, 1 ½ lb pork tenderloin
After setting the pork aside, cook the carrots, mushrooms, and onions in the remaining cooking fat for about 5 minutes on medium heat.
1 cup carrots, 1 cup mushrooms, 1 cup onions
In a casserole dish, mix the coconut milk with thyme, cinnamon, and black pepper. Add the cooked vegetables, cooked pork, and quartered apples to the casserole dish.
22.5 oz full-fat coconut milk, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 red apples
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until the dish is hot and ready to serve.

Notes

This can be made with pork tenderloin, pork chops, pork shoulder, or pork roast. Tougher cuts of meat will need a bit longer cooking time to tenderize.
Use any of your favorite apples for baking. The key is to make sure you use an apple that will soften but won't turn mushy.
Full-fat canned coconut milk is recommended for this recipe.
