Pepper Pork

We once again dived into the “Cuisine for Two” cookbook to find an alternative for dinner tonight.  When I stumbled on the recipe for pepper pork, I knew we had found another alternative to our regular Cruz Bay Grill Rub pork.  This recipe included pork with a spicy ground pepper corn crust and a delicious sauce with apple juice and calvados.  The menu also included an apple barley salad which went very well with the pork and roasted broccoli.  All in all, the dinner was excellent (however the sauce was fantastic).

This was paired with a 2009 Pinot Noir from France.  Red Bicyclette is a light wine which should pair well with poultry and seafood.  Although it was not a truly epic match, the wine did go well with the pork and just as well with the chocolate.
