What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? After the Holidays: Grill Pan Pork Loins! My latest kitchen essential is an enameled cast iron skinny grill that just happens to fit perfectly across two burners on my newly installed glass stovetop. As you can see, the vibrant red handles not only allow for attractive table service, but also make it easy to manage while cooking. Now I get that unique grilled taste all year long, no matter what the weather. The cast iron feature is the secret to even cooking. Plus, the nonstick finish makes cleanup a flash, in addition to enhanced seasoning qualities. I like the idea that foods, once grilled, show the little black grill marks. After all, it’s about the presentation, isn’t it? In addition, vegetables work out quite nicely. No more frustrating pieces falling through the grill grates. I can see you agree with me.
GRILL PAN PORK LOINS
Ingredients:
4 pork loins, boneless, and one-inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 red onion, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1/3 cup pineapple chunks
4 fingerling potatoes, halved
Instructions:
Preheat the stovetop grill pan on medium heat setting. Brush lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle the pork loins with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Arrange on grill pan. Add red onion slices, broccoli florets, and pineapple chunks in a single layer. Pierce fingerling potatoes with a fork. Microwave on High setting for two minutes. Cut in half and add to grill pan. Cook pork loins until golden brown, about 7 minutes per side. Turn vegetables as needed to prevent scorching. When pork reaches 145° on a meat thermometer, transfer loins to a cutting board; tent with foil for 5 minutes. Turn stovetop setting to Off. Divide food into four portions. Serve warm.
I could eat this ’til the cows come home! 🤣 It also looks so appetising; I’m salivating just looking at the picture! 😋😋

No wonder I was drooling, I could smell our mid day meal being cooked, something very like this but with butcher’s sausages and cooked in the oven in an enamel pan.

It looks like a perfect grill pan; anything that can move from burner to table is a plus in my book! Especially if it’s red…

You can have some from us too, in case it doesn’t suffice… it has been snowing since yesterday and won’t stop until tomorrow noon… there is the pure chaos everywhere. In the Alps we are used to snow but that much in such a short time is not funny!

Brings back memories of when I lived in the Allegheny Mountains. Sometimes we would lose our power. The wind literally rattled the house at night. 💨❄️
