The classic combination of tender pork, tart apples, and cider-braised sweet potatoes is a textbook meal for chilly days, especially when you're really hungry. You'll be amazed how easy it is to pull this hearty meal together; even the cider-based mustard sauce is a snap to prepare.
It's that easy: Pardon me, but, do you have any Grey Poupon? If not, get some, or purchase one of the many exceptional whole-grain mustards on the grocery shelves these days—they have more "pow!" than the smooth Dijon style. Pommery Moutarde de Meaux is the gold standard, having been "served at the tables of French kings since 1632," which probably makes it good enough for the rest of us.
Extra hungry? Add steam-in-the-bag peas for a welcome splash of green on the plate.
In the Glass: A medium-dry Riesling will complement the sweet pork and apples, as would a tall, cold glass of Belgian-style wheat ale such as Blue Moon.
