    Wow! This was a lot of work, but totally worth it. I made everything the day before, so all I had to do the day of the dinner was brown the meat and bake it. The potatoes were much runnier than the picture- more of a puree than a mash- and the flavor was almost too intense on its own- strong garlic flavor- but it was delicious with the rest of the meal. I had to add a LOT of water to the brine to cover the meat and I think that diluted the flavors a little, but it was still super moist and delicious. Next time I'll use a brining bag. The five spice apples were the perfect balance. I don't know that the chile oil was worth the effort (I had to buy whole chiles and grind them in a spice grinder, then make the oil and I don't know that I even tasted the oil. All in all, it was an excellent meal- probably the best I've ever made! Easily doubles for a crowd, and it's a great make-ahead. Everything reheats beautifully!

    This is a great company dish. Had no problem with meat being fully cooked and found there was plenty of oil. Don't understand the 1 star review.

    Pork was NOT cooked to a safe temperature using the recipe's instructions. Amount of oil needed to carmelize onions and instructions were not specific enough to accomplish this task .

    This was a very tasty and well-paired selection. The mashed sweet potatoes were particularly tasty!

    It's so easy and so great to have pork that is tender and moist. I sliced some of it thin and we had it on sandwiches. Really good!

    This is an amazing, restaurant-quality dish. Brining the tenderloin ensures juicy, flavorful meat. And the sweet potatoes and apples are perfect foils for one another. It plates beautifully. Next time I make it I will use yams so there is more of a color contrast on the plate. I didn't use the chili oil or chives and didn't miss it. Totally worth the time.
