Fresh Orange Pork Tenderloin was a nice alternative. I loved the idea of using orange zest. I had fun peeling the orange too!
Broth-Braised Potatoes were DELICIOUS! We often roast potatoes with similar flavored, but braising them kept the potatoes so creamy.
To round off the meal, I made Lemon-Steamed Spinach. OK, I have to admit, I cheated! I tossed all the ingredients in a bowl and microwaved the spinach...the horror! I hope Dorie doesn't find out, but I have to say, it was pretty good.

Good idea to make it when you have others to share it with!
ReplyDeletemmm that looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteNice make up dish, looks incredibly delicious. Love your story of the bag, very funny.
ReplyDeleteHope you have settled down after last week's big win, we were thinking about you
while we munched on wings and such.
Wow - your version turned out much better than ours! I have some making up to do, too. I think you'll really enjoy the Boeuf a la Ficelle when you do make it.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
it looks great Gracie!! :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent catch up post...your pork is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think it got that cold out your way. Brrr, especially without a furnace. Hope that's fixed by now. I just love the way your peeled that orange. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm not at all sure I've made the orange pork tenderloin yet, Gracie, but it's definitely going on my list to be made sooner than later. You'll have to Fed Ex me one of the beautifull cut oranges, however. Love that picture. Your entire meal looks delicious and thank you for putting it all together and posting it. So sorry about the furnace, I can handle being too hot but I cannot tolerate being cold. And your next question will be then why do I live in Aspen? I am making the beef next week along with the all white salad. I think everyone seemed to like it.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking dish! I enjoyed this one too.
ReplyDeleteOk seriously- I could not do that to an orange if my life depended on it. But rest assured, if I ever came remotely close- I would absolutely catch it on film. Your photo and your entire catch up plate is amazing. Awesome job. And I am doing a catch up myself on comments as I am doing better on the cooking part of FFWD but took a hit the last two weeks and making the commenting rounds. First off, rest assured that our entire families were rooting for Seattle during the Super Bowl as I celebrated it at Nana's house because we kept telling everyone how happy one of the Doristas was going to be. By the end of the night all the guys were saying (as they were disappointed in the one sided game) "at least Gracie is happy". To which Nana and I assured them you must definitely be happy. Well done :) So I have peeked all the way back to your amazing Paris Brest and of course, it is stunning. You had a baker's treat and a gorgeous round pastry to boot. Your piping skills are awesome and I am personally happy to have survived that night. It turned out to be a bit of an adventure but a yummy adventure at least. And good call on waiting for your son to come home for the beef- I am sure he will enjoy it. Stay warm and I hope that furnace is long fixed by the time you read this comment ~
ReplyDeleteThat was a really tasty dish! One of the few I was able to make last year before my hiatus! Good idea to save the beef for another time- it was really quite good! Your pork looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteHope things are warmer for you!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about "cheating" on a recipe - it's kind of a badge of honor among our group to take a recipe and make it our own :-)
I can't take my eyes off that gorgeous orange zest! Wow! it looks terrific. I'm still doing catch up too - I had a year I didn't participate as much and now am scrambling to make it up before next April!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me about those potatoes. I need to make them again. You're too funny. I like to think that Dorie would approve of the microwaving. You still made the recipe...Your peeled orange is just beautiful.
