Khmeli Suneli Apple Braised Pork

While searching for apple inspiration, I wandered through the Seattle store and took in the aromas of various spices. The Khmeli Suneli blend stood out with its mix of Indian Coriander, Fenugreek Seed, Black Pepper, Peppermint, Paprika, Fenugreek Leaf, Savory, Turmeric, Basil, Cloves, and Indonesian Cinnamon. My nose was right! (Because the nose knows!) This blend is great for braising and autumn flavors.

During the process of searing the pork, the spices took on a delightful nutty and fragrant quality. The pork itself reached a fork-tender, while the combination of apple and onion broke down beautifully, resulting in a delectable and sweet gravy. It would basically be a sin NOT to serve this dish over mashed potatoes.

This apple-braised pork is essentially fall on a plate, and it's the perfect savory meal to make with your apple haul from the orchards this season.
