This is meant to accompany the honey mustard pork loin from the same author. I riffed on it a bit by using Asian pear instead of apple, an overripe persimmon, dried cranberries and a good sprinkling of salt and cumin. At the end to make it more of a whole side I added a bag of baby spinach, wilted by the heat of the sweet potato mixture: definitely a redo, quite tasty way to use sweet potatoes.
Step four is a little confusing. Its the only step in which “Pork” is mentioned. Is this supposed to be a topping for Pork Chops? That would make sense.
