Dijon Pork with Apples and Cabbage
A honey-mustard marinade gives pork a tangy-sweet punch. Charred cabbage and apple make a crunchy side dish.

I am a husband/father and I actually made this dinner. It was super easy and a big hit with my family. My wife also appreciated a break from cooking Sunday dinner. I am pretty happy with myself.
Read MoreIt was pretty good but I like my food to have a bit more flavour. I used plain white vinegar because I didn't have white wine vinegar and added an additional teaspoon of honey. Also, I only used one pork tenderloin and 25 minutes was not long enough. I needed to cook it for a total of an hour before the juices were running clear. When I broiled it on low for 5 minutes the cabbage around the edges of the pan got burnt. If do this again, I'll leave the rack in the middle instead of moving it 4" away from the element. I'd also add onion and maybe I'll use a bit of mustard powder so that it has a stronger mustard taste as well.

This recipe was very good. I doubled the recipe because my pork tenderloins were 2 lbs each. I used a whole head of cabbage, an onion and a red bell pepper. I put in a roasting pan, after 20 min everything was still raw, I ended up roasting for 1 hour which cooked the veggies perfectly but made the pork dry. I live at high altitude so everything tends to take a little longer. The flavor of the sauce didn't really permeate the meat, maybe because I overcooked it. I think I will marinade the meat next time. I also think I'll start the veggies roasting and add the meat a little later. This recipe has real potential and will definitely make again.

I cooked the cabbage and apples for 10 or 15 minutes on their own, then added the tenderloin. Once the tenderloin was cooked, the apples/cabbage were also ready. Tasty! I would make it again.
Surprising how delicious this was. Omitted the apples and just used a whole head of red cabbage seasoned with olive oil and salt and pepper. Placed a marinated pork loin on top of cabbage (hickory & bacon.) Roasted with a tray of acorn squash. Simple meal that hubby raved over. Took about 25 minutes for the squash and a little longer to get the pork to 145. Juicy and flavorful. A definite "make it again" dinner.
The flavors in this were really good. I had to make a few minor changes due to what was on hand - I used dried thyme and used half regular Dijon mustard and half spicy brown mustard, I think it would have been as good if I had just used one or the other. My mistake was I used a loin of pork instead of the two small tenderloins so it took longer to roast, so my cabbage and apples got burnt on the bottom.
We all found that the cabbage tasted better the next day after I had cooked it about 15 minutes longer. Next time I will cook the cabbage for about 20 minutes before putting the pork on top. It was too crunchy.
Wonderful recipe, easy and I loved it. I did change it a bit. I added potatoes and carrots to the cabbage. A complete dinner in one pan.
My husband was tentative about apples but I convinced him to try it. Fabulous! Absolutely delicious! followed it per instructions.kept pork in about 35 minutes before putting it in broil.no burning
Made it to the letter, it was fantastic. The cabbage really cooks down - you could probably get away with using a whole red cabbage (softball sized), or 3/4 of a green cabbage if you wanted to make a one-pot (or pan, in this case) dinner out of it.
Easy and delicious. I did add extra mustard and next time I make it I will use two full tablespoons. I had to bake the pork for almost 40 minutes to get it to temp and it was not at all overcooked.
Fresh picked savoy cabbage and apples from our tree. I really like the flavor of this, but it looks really bland. Cabbage is pale, apples are pale with only a little charring. I think Next time I would add a couple extra veggies..carrots are all ready in my garden too. The sauce, although good, was not enough , so I think i would make extra next time around to intensify the flavors at bit
I was surprised at how really good this recipe turned out. I had to substitute the white vinegar for apple but otherwise no other changes. My husband, who normally doesn't like cabbage thought this was really good too. This one's a keeper in our house. Thank you for sharing this Molly!
Roast veg and apple for about 15 minutes then add pork. I added leek and carrot, delicious.
Figure 30 min per pound. Under the broiler for 5 min. burned the meat (I didn't put the cabbage under as it was already well done.) 2nd time did not broil at all and it was good.
I used red and green cabbage, added red onion and some par boiled baby potatoes (which I added in the broiling phase) This was DYNAMITE!!! And to think I almost passed this one by
I wasn’t expecting much, but this is absolutely delicious and incredibly easy!
Easy and delicious. I used red cabbage and 1 apple, and 1/2 Dijon 1/2 spicy brown Polish mustard. I started roasting the cabbage and apples for about 10 min. while prepping the pork and sauce. I recommend doubling the sauce, reserve half and then warm in the microwave to pour over the sliced tenderloin when done. Yum!
our cabbage charred a bit but that added more flavor. I might double the sauce and pour some of it on the veggies the next time
I'll be making this tonight for the second time! I kept to the recipe and was pleased, maybe I'll make some additions tonight.
Maybe it is just me, but I found this to bee too salty. Will reduce salt next time. Do not like my pork pink in the center, so had to cook an extra 20 minutes to reach 160F.
Super easy to put together and very clean tasting. The pork took about 20 minutes longer to heat to temperature in my gas oven though.
This is an easy week night meal. My whole family loves it!
I didn’t use cabbage because my husband doesn’t like it, and I still really enjoyed this dish. I did everything according to the recipe.
Excellent recipe!! Like others have reported, next time I will cook the vegetables alone for about 10 minutes first. Also added chunks of red onion as well.
This was outstanding. I used red cabbage and pineapple instead of apples. Simple...but could be served to guest as it makes a beautiful presentation.
The flavor of the pork was wonderful. I added baby potatoes to the pan to round out the meal. I had to cook the pork a total of 40 minutes because the cuts I had were very thick
Loved it, but based on Jen's feedback I decided to tweak the spicing. The recipe makes an immense amount for two, so I used 16 ounces of pork (four small fillets packed for grilling.) I cut up the cabbage and two granny smith apples as described and roasted them in the oven, with olive oil and soy sauce. I could have gotten away with 1/2 cabbage and one apple. For the pork, I slatherred the pork with mustard sauce, soy sauce, honey and ginger and fresh spices and grilled it in a skillet about 4 minutes a side. Then I combined the whole thing long enough to finish the pork in the oven. I booked it briefly. And then left it to rest for a few minutes loosely covered with foil. One thing, the apples really dissolved when they were under the broiler. I felt it was not a good idea to place the raw pork on top of the veg, so I grilled it which enhanced the appearance.
I used sweet & spicy mustard in place of Dijon. Very good recipe, next time I'll add potatoes and use Dijon mustard.
Super simple one-pan recipe that tastes like it took all day. Everyone enjoyed, including our toddlers. I brushed a bit more grainy mustard on the pork before cooking, but that was it. Served with steam-in-bag green beans for a beautifully easy meal. Will definitely be putting this one in the regular rotation.
Such a simple recipe, with quick prep, but really good! I doubled the amount of Dijon mixture, used fresh thyme, fresh tarragon, and added 4 finely chopped cloves of garlic. I also used apple cider vinegar. After salting and peppering the loins, they were marinaded in the mixture for the day. The vegetables were as called for, except I included a coarsely cut up red pepper for colour. After placing everything on the baking sheet, I drizzled the Dijon mixture over everything and let it go. After broiling, the vegetables had a nice char, and the pork was perfectly browned and pink - super tender. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
We tried this recipe as is for the first time. It was so easy, and it was a delicious one (sheet) pan meal with easy clean up! The only thing we might do differently next time is add more Apple and cabbage. A must try!
The pork was great! Apples and cabbage were overdone to our taste.
This was a good combination. Although for my taste, I will cut back on the vinegar next time. Very tasty. Easy clean up. Not a lot of work. We like cabbage so I used a whole head.
I used a can of drained sauerkraut , instead of fresh cabbage. I used honey mustard salad dressing on the pork , instead of the individual ingredients. Very good!
Insanely good and simple - I used a coarse ground mustard and *tart* apples. I also remove all the silver skin from the tenderloin. Good Stuff!
My husband loved this recipe! Healthy and delicious. I had to kick the temp up. My tenderloins took longer to cook through. Will definitely make it again, for company!
Great recipe. Used basalmic instead of wine vinegar because that is what I had. My husband loved this easy meal.
My husband and I really liked the flavors of this together! I used whole head of cabbage and cooked each loin on separate baking sheets with 1/2 cabbage head and 1 apple. I followed other reviewers who said they cooked cabbage/apple 15 min before adding pork, but perhaps I cut my veggies thinner because some of it burned. So next time I make this I will not precook veg/fruit and I will make extra mustard sauce and marinate pork loins in sauce before hand, as well as pour some over before cooking. Delicious combination of flavors, and will definitely be making again!
This was excellent! We followed the recipe almost to the t. We grilled ours and used a specialty oil and vinegar we got in CO. I served it with a sweet potato flat bread (1c flour, 1 c sweet potato) recipe I found on YouTube. We both loved it. Will make again.
Absolutely DELICIOUS! So moist and flavorful! My husband wanted me to make it again the very next day after we finished it off!) I laughed and said we had to wait a month or so!) I used RED cabbage so it was gorgeous as well as delicious.
I used boneless pork chops and coleslaw mix. It turned out fine.
Big hit. Had leftover cabbage from making the weight watchers garden soup, so thought I’d try it. Three out of three diners really enjoyed this dinner. Easy clean up too.
I had to go a little longer with the pork but still came out fabulous. Also got concerned with just how black the cabbage became in 5 minutes but it was so good
This is a pretty easy recipe to make for dinner during the week. I made a few changes and I feel that made this a little more flavorful. I changed the white wine vinegar to apple cider vinegar, tripled the sauce recipe and also poured it on the cabbage and apples. The tenderloin needed an additional ten minutes but it was well worth the time. This seems like a great recipe to prep and eat during the week for lunch.
Very tasty. Mine cooked a little faster than what other reviewers reported so a little dry, next time will check it sooner. Loved the charred apples and cabbage.
We enjoyed this for dinner tonight, very tasty! I also liked how easy it was to prepare-- simple easy steps, 1 2 3, and it was in the oven. Surprisingly, the only modification I did was to use dried thyme instead of fresh. I might try this with chicken next time, I just don't cook with pork often, but it is nice to diversify with a good pork tenderloin recipe occasionally. This is a keeper.
Such a simple but flavorful and delicious meal! We used thin, boneless pork chops and substituted french green beans for the cabbage (suggested variation from magazine). Even my picky toddler liked it! We'll definitely be making it again.
