From the Test Kitchen

For this dish, we're coating pork in a bit of tangy sour cherry spread and roasting until delightfully browned and tender. It all comes together with vibrant side salad starring sweet delicata squash, red onion, arugula, and tangy goat cheese, plus some dried cherries for bursts of sweetness.

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Roast the pork

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Line two sheet pans with foil. Pat the pork dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper all sides. Transfer to one sheet pan. Transfer half the sour cherry spread to a bowl and set aside. Evenly spread or brush the remaining sour cherry spread onto the seasoned pork. Roast 36 to 38 minutes for medium (the center may still be slightly pink), or until the pork is cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Transfer to a cutting board; let rest at least 5 minutes.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for pork.

2 Prepare & roast the vegetables

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges, keeping the layers intact. Cut off and discard the ends of the squash. Quarter lengthwise; using a spoon, scoop out and discard the pulp and seeds. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Place the onion pieces and squash pieces on the remaining sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 20 to 22 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

3 Cook the farro

Meanwhile, add the farro to the pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, 18 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly.

4 Make the salad

Roughly chop the walnuts. In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, honey, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Add the arugula, cooked farro, roasted vegetables, goat cheese (crumbling before adding), cherries, and chopped walnuts; toss to combine.

5 Finish & serve your dish

To make the sauce, to the bowl of reserved sour cherry spread, add the dijonnaise and mayonnaise; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested pork; thinly slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the sliced pork with the salad. Top the pork with the sauce. Enjoy!
