Method

For the Coffee Rubbed Pork Loin

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rub

    In a small bowl, combine ground coffee, brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Rub the Pork

    Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. Rub the coffee mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pork loin in a roasting pan and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

For the Creamed Cabbage & Potatoes

  1. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, boil water and add the diced potatoes. Cook for about 10 minutes until tender, then drain.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Cabbage

    In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the shredded cabbage, salt, and pepper. Cook until the cabbage is tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 6

    Combine and Add Cream

    Add the cooked potatoes back into the pot with cabbage. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.

For the Carrots and Shiitake Bacon

  1. 7

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced shiitake mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

  2. 8

    Add Carrots

    Add the sliced carrots to the skillet along with soy sauce and maple syrup. Cook for an additional 7-10 minutes until the carrots are tender.

For the Pickled Mustard Seed

  1. 9

    Pickle the Mustard Seeds

    In a saucepan, combine mustard seeds, white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Let it cool and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.
