Garlic Pork with Kale and Walnut Barley
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Trim fat from meat. In a small bowl combine garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle on pork; rub in with your fingers. Place pork on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
- Roast, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 degrees F. Remove pork from pan. Cover; let stand for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook bacon over medium heat until it begins to brown. Add kale and walnuts. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until bacon is cooked through, walnuts are lightly toasted, and kale is tender. Remove kale mixture from the skillet and set aside.
- Add broth and barley to the same skillet. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes or until barley is tender, adding figs for the last 1 minute of cooking. Drain, if necessary. Stir in kale mixture and vinegar.
- Slice pork and serve with barley mixture.
