MISO PORK ON A SWEET POTATO image

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium sweet potato
3 oz lean pork
2 stalks (6 oz) broccolini cut crosswise into 3/4 inch pieces (or broccoli rabe)
1 T white miso
2 T water, more if needed
1 scallion, white and green parts, cut crosswise on diagonal into thin slices

Steps:

1. preheat oven to 425 2. use form or sharp knife to prick the sweet potato in several places. Place on a piece of aluminum foil and bake for 40-60 min or until sweet potato is tender and can be easily squeezed. 3. Heat a large, heavy skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add the port and stir fry for about 5 min or until no traces of pink remain and the pork starts to exude juices; break up any large clumps as you work. Add the broccolini and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are barely tender and retain some crunch. 3. Add the miso and water; cook, stirring, for 1 minute or so, until a creamy sauce forms. If the mixture seams too dry, add up to a few more tablespoons of water, stirring to combine. 4. When the sweet potato has finished baking, place it on a serving plate. Use a sharp knife to make a centered, lengthwise slit on the top, pinching the potato on each end to expose the flesh and make a pocket for the filling. Spoon the miso-pork mixture on top of the sweet potato. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve.
