Ingredients:

1 package pork tenderloins (pkg of 2) about 2 pounds total – remove silver skin and excess fat from tenderloins; then cut into 2 inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 large carrots, cut into ½ inch slices
2 celery ribs, coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
3 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/3 cup pitted dried plums, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 bay leaves
1 fresh rosemary sprig
1 fresh thyme sprig
1/3 cup Greek olives (optional)
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Hot cooked mashed potatoes (optional)

Directions:
After removing silver skin and excess fat, sprinkle the tenderloin pieces with salt and pepper; transfer to a 4 quart (minimum size) slow cooker. Add the carrots, celery and onion.
In a small bowl, whisk broth and tomato paste; pour over vegetables. Add plums, garlic, bay leaves, rosemary, thyme and, if desired, olives.

Chicken Shepherd’s Pie

Ingredients:
1 ½ lb potatoes, peeled (optional) and cut into large chunks
3 garlic cloves, peeled and bruised (mashed, but still in one piece)
¼ cup half & half creamer
¾ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons real butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 carrots, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into small chunks
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup frozen peas
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions:
In a saucepan of boiling water, cook potatoes and garlic cloves until tender; drain. With a potato masher, mash potatoes, garlic, cream and ½ teaspoon of the salt until smooth; set aside.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large frying pan, melt butter over low heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 7 minutes, or until soft. Add carrots and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until tender. Add chicken and sauté for 4 minutes, or until no longer pink.
Sprinkle flour over chicken mixture and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute, or until no streaks of flour remain. Gradually add stock and remaining salt – bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until sauce is slightly thickened. Stir in peas and parsley.
Spoon mixture into a deep dish pie dish (9 inch). Spoon or pipe the mashed potatoes over the top. Bake for 30 minutes, or until potato topping is golden brown and crusty. Serve hot.
