Last night some old friends got together to celebrate the new season. Our host, Emily G, decided to choose ingredients appropriate for the time of the year: cabbage, squash and pork were the inspiration for her meal.
The pork was rubbed with a mixture of garlic, rosemary, thyme and butter and then roasted over a bed of onions and carrots.
The cabbage was cooked with onions, caraway seeds, vinegar and vegetable stock. The butternut squash was caramelized with brown sugar. Green beans were steamed and served on the side. The pork was excellent, which is why it gets all the face time on this post. Perfectly cooked, it was juicy and full of flavor.
And because no meal at Emily's house is complete without dessert, she served vanilla and chocolate hazelnut ice cream with espresso and Bailey's drizzled on top. To Nat's delight, we ended up with some lovely ice cream soup.
