How to Make Spiced Pork & Glazed Apple with Roasted Vegetables
This hearty dish is brimming with quintessential wintry flavors thanks to the sweet glazed apple we’re serving over rich roasted pork, coated with a warming blend of nutmeg, ginger, white pepper, and cloves (known as quatre épices, or four spices) that also roasts with seasonal vegetables.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Prepare & sear the pork: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Pat the pork dry with paper towels; season on all sides with salt (optional), pepper, and the quatre épices. In a medium pan, heat 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned pork. Cook, turning occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to the center of a sheet pan.
- Prepare the vegetables: Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges, keeping the layers intact. Medium dice the turnip. Cut off and discard the stem ends of the brussels sprouts; halve lengthwise. Peel the carrots; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Place the prepared vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and season with salt (optional) and pepper; toss to coat. Transfer to the sheet pan of seared pork and arrange in an even layer around the edges.
- Roast the pork & vegetables: Roast the seared pork and prepared vegetables 22 to 24 minutes, or until the vegetables are browned and tender when pierced with a fork and the pork is cooked through. (An instant-read thermometer should register 145°F.) Remove from the oven. Transfer the roasted pork to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.
- Prepare, cook & glaze the apple: Meanwhile, core and medium dice the apple. Once the pork and vegetables have roasted about 20 minutes, in the pan of reserved fond, heat 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the diced apple; season with salt (optional) and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 6 to 8 minutes, or until softened. Add the demi-glace (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any fond, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until combined. Turn off the heat.
- Slice the pork & serve your dish: Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested pork; thinly slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the sliced pork with the roasted vegetables. Top the pork with the glazed apple. Enjoy!
