Before we can learn the sufficiency of God’s grace, we must learn the insufficiency of ourselves. The more we see our sinfulness, the more we appreciate grace in its basic meaning of God’s undeserved favor. In a similar manner, the more we see our frailty, weakness, and dependence, the more we appreciate God’s grace in its dimension of His divine assistance. Just as grace shines more brilliantly against the dark background of our sin, so it also shines more brilliantly against the background of our human weakness.

INSTRUCTIONS

VEGETABLES
PORK
SAUCE
BUTTERMILK MASHED POTATOES
To prepare the vegetables, pre heat the oven to 350F. Pour the oil into a
medium skillet on high heat and fry the parsnips, carrots and turnips to
heat through for about 2 minutes. Spread the cooked vegetables out in an 8
x 8 inch baking pan and sprinkle with the white pepper. Set aside.
For the pork, trim away all the visible fat, cut each piece in half
lengthways then in half crossways. You should have 8 pieces about 3 to 4
inches long. On medium heat, pour the oil into the same skillet and fry the
cut surface side of the pork until very brown. Sprinkle with the salt and
pepper and lay the pieces, brown side up, on top of the cooked vegetables.
For the sauce, in the same skillet, fry the onion, celery and garlic in the
oil on medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, sage and thyme then
deglaze with the wine and beef stock. Stir in the peppercorns and
Worcestershire sauce and remove from the heat. Pour over the pork, cover
with foil, seal the edges and bake for 1 hour.
Remove the cooked pork from the oven and transfer to a carving board.
Strain the cooking liquids from the baking dish into a small saucepan.
Bring the juices to a boil, skimming off any fat that rises to the surface.
Remove from the heat, stir in the arrowroot slurry, return to the heat,
bring back to the boil and stir until thickened, about 30 seconds.
For the buttermilk mashed potatoes, in a large pot of boiling water cook
the potatoes for 30 minutes. Drain, return the potatoes to the pot, put a
towel over the top and let them sit on a very low heat for 15 minutes to
dry out. Transfer the potatoes to a warm bowl and whip them together with
the buttermilk, salt and the white pepper using an electric beater until
mashed.
To serve, distribute the pork and vegetables on individual serving plates.
Ladle with the sauce and garnish with a sprinkle of parsley. This is
terrific served with buttermilk mashed potatoes.
