  • Organic Yellow Potatoes 1 lb, cut into 1-inch wedges $1.99/lb
  • Organic Leeks (bunch) 1 small leek, white/light green only, thinly sliced $3.99/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic Garlic Bulbs 3 cloves, minced $1.99 (3 ct)
  • Organic Lacinato Kale 2 cups, finely chopped (stems removed) $2.79/ea
  • Simple Truth Organic Baby Dill 2 tablespoons, chopped $2.49 (0.5 oz)

  • Unsalted butter 3 tablespoons, divided
  • Extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons
  • Lemon 1, cut into wedges
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional) Pinch
  • Kosher salt & black pepper To taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Place a rimmed sheet pan inside to heat.
  2. Rinse clams under cold water, scrubbing shells. Discard any with cracked shells or that remain open when tapped. Keep chilled.
  3. Toss potato wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Carefully add to the hot sheet pan and roast, flipping once, until golden and crisp, 20–25 minutes.
  4. While potatoes roast, heat a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Sauté sliced leeks with a pinch of salt until tender, 4–5 minutes. Stir in garlic and a pinch of red pepper; cook 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in wine and stock; bring to a lively simmer. Add clams, cover, and steam until most are open, 6–8 minutes. Discard any that don’t open.
  6. Stir in chopped kale and 1 tablespoon butter; simmer uncovered 1–2 minutes to wilt. Off heat, fold in dill and a squeeze of lemon. Taste and season broth with salt and pepper.
  7. Finish potatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon butter tossed on the hot pan and a sprinkle of dill if desired.
  8. Serve clams and broth in warm bowls with crispy potatoes on the side and extra lemon wedges.

Health notes: Approx. 600–650 calories per serving. High in protein, B12, and iron from clams; rich in potassium and fiber from potatoes and kale. Moderate saturated fat; adjust butter to taste.

Cider-Glazed Pork Sirloin with Apple–Red Cabbage and Yukon Mash

Tender, quick-seared pork sirloin medallions glaze in a tangy apple-cider mustard sauce with sweet sautéed Fuji apples and braised red cabbage. Creamy Yukon gold mash rounds out this cozy, value-forward fall plate.

Ingredients

  • Kroger Boneless Natural Fresh Pork Sirloins (2 Piece) 12 oz (about 3/4 lb), sliced into 1-inch medallions $1.99/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic Fuji Apples – 2 lb Bag 2 apples, cored and sliced $3.99/bag
  • Organic Red Cabbage 1/2 lb, thinly sliced $1.99/lb
  • Organic Yellow Onions 1/2 medium, thinly sliced $1.49/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic Garlic Bulbs 2 cloves, minced $1.99 (3 ct)
  • Apple cider (or apple juice) 1/2 cup
  • Apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon
  • Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons
  • Unsalted butter 3 tablespoons, divided
  • Extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon
  • Organic Yellow Potatoes 1 lb, peeled and cut into chunks $1.99/lb
  • Milk (or half-and-half) 1/3 cup, warmed
  • Caraway seeds (optional, classic with cabbage) 1/2 teaspoon
  • Kosher salt & black pepper To taste

Instructions

  1. Start the mash: Place potato chunks in a pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until very tender, 12–15 minutes. Drain well, then mash with 2 tablespoons butter, warm milk, salt, and pepper. Keep warm.
  2. Prep the pork and veg: Pat pork medallions dry and season with salt and pepper. Slice apples, cabbage, and onion; mince garlic.
  3. Sear the pork: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add olive oil, then pork in a single layer. Sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned (145°F internal). Transfer to a plate; tent with foil.
  4. Build the cabbage–apple base: Return skillet to medium heat with 1 tablespoon butter. Add onion and cabbage; season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, 4–5 minutes until beginning to soften. Add caraway (if using) and garlic; cook 30 seconds.
  5. Make the glaze: Stir in apple cider and vinegar, scraping up browned bits. Whisk in Dijon. Simmer 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  6. Finish: Return pork and any juices to the pan along with apple slices. Simmer 2–3 minutes, turning pork to glaze and cooking apples just until tender-crisp. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  7. Plate the mash, top with pork, apples, and cabbage with spoonfuls of pan sauce over everything.

Health notes: Approx. 620–700 calories per serving. Good protein; fiber and antioxidants from cabbage and apples. Use milk instead of cream in mash to keep saturated fat moderate.

Drink pairing: Seattle Cider Co. Dry Cider or a WA off-dry Riesling (Eroica Riesling).
