Directions
Step 1: Wash your fresh produce thoroughly with water.
Step 2: Make your sweet potato mash;
Peel and chop(finely) shallot, using the vegetable peeler.
Chop and grate garlic to measure about 2 tsp then set aside.
Peel potatoes and cut them in halves(lengthwise), then into ¼-inch-thick half-moons(crosswise).
Now chop parsley(coarsely), setting aside 1 tbsp of this for the sauce.
Warm 1 tsp oil in the medium saucepan over medium heat until hot enough.
Add shallot plus half the grated garlic and season with salt and pepper. Then cook that for 2 to 3 minutes making sure to stir the mixture often.
Next, add potatoes plus 1 to 1-1/2 cups of lightly salted water and bring to a boil for about 8 minutes.
Drain the water and add 1 tsp. oil and 1 tbsp. parsley.
Mash the potatoes coarsely, using the masher or back of your spoon.
Finally, season the mash with salt and pepper to taste, covering and keeping it warm.
Step 3: Prepare and cook the pork;
Pat dry the meat, using the paper towel before seasoning it with salt and pepper.
Then, warm 3 tsp. of oil until hot enough in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Thereafter, add pork and cook for about 10 minutes, making sure to turn it often.
Transfer cooked pork to a plate.
Step 4: Prepare the remaining sauce ingredients and finalize the sauce;
Trim the ends from the scallion and slice the vegetable thinly. Tip: be sure to allocate some green parts of it(about 1 tsp) for your garnish.
Chop the olives coarsely, making sure to check for any pits
Measure ½ tsp oregano for the sauce; saving the rest for separate use.
Stir in the scallion slices plus the remaining garlic, cooking the mixture in the same pan you used for the pork for about 30 seconds. Tip: use medium heat.
Lower the heat and add the chopped olives, vinaigrette, ½ tsp oregano, and remaining parsley.
Cook the mixture for about 2 minutes or until the formation of a slightly thickened sauce.
Remove sauce from the heat, seasoning it with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy while still warm!!!
Transfer the cooked pork to individual plates.
Next, top pork on individual plates with as much sauce as you want.
Finally, garnish each plate with the remaining scallions and enjoy. Tip: you can serve any remaining sauce on the side.
