Pork and apples are a natural pairing.  The sweetness of the apples compliment pork so well.  This curry is wonderful to make this time of year as it uses so many seasonal flavors.  Because it takes a bit of time to simmer, giving the curry time to blend the seasoning and to thicken, make an extra large batch so you can freeze the extra for another day.  Having a package on hand to pull out of the freezer on a chilly fall or winter day is comfort food at its finest!

Gluten Free Dairy Free Pork and Apple Curry is wonderful served over rice, quinoa or baked sweet potatoes or ba.  I have also served it over cauliflower puree, to rave reviews from the family.  Enjoy!

 

If you don’t eat pork, replace the pork with chicken thighs.
