Jalapeno, Ginger & Green Onion Crusted Pork Loin with Mashed Sweet Potatoes

The husband fixed this amazing dinner for us the other night. It truly was a master piece. The Pork Tenderloin recipe comes from Bobby Flay's Grilling For Life cookbook. And for once we pretty much followed the recipe word for word. - This is a rarity for him.


But husband's addition of the side of Mashed Sweet Potatoes made this meal spectacular. He researched the main ingredients of both dishes in the book Culinary Artistry. This book is the perfect cookbook for those that don't like to use recipes. It lists ingredients and tells you what other ingredients will match well. We learned that both pork and sweet potatoes like chilies, ginger, and honey.

He grilled the sweet potatoes which added a smoky flavor. Then mashed them with a little bit of honey, heavy cream and butter. Pure decadence. For dessert a friend brought his strawberry cobbler with whipped cream. Yumm.

I'd put this meal up against any restaurant meal! Thanks Love!
