During thanksgiving, I went to Ann Arbor to have thanksgiving dinner at Huey Shann's place. It was a potluck and I spent quite a long time deciding what to cook. After some research online, I went with the garlic and sage pork tenderloin and sweet potato cannelloni from Martha Stewart's website.
I took a very long time to prepare the cannelloni. The recipe requires cutting the sweet potatoes into thin slices; boiling it in hot water for about 2 minutes; and then rolling it up with some filling inside. The potato slices would snap into halves when I try to roll it. In the end, I gave up on rolling it and made a sandwich style instead.
Siew Gee style "sweet potato sandwich"
The one and only cannelloni that I managed to make
Compared to the cannelloni, the pork tenderloin was sooo much easier to make. The prep time is no longer than 10 minutes and after that, I just have to put it in the oven and...
ta-da....it's done
Now that I look at this picture, I think I might have slice the pork a little too thin
The pork turned out pretty good, but the cannelloni was just ok and I thought that it did not worth the prep effort. I'm still holding off on trying to roast a turkey. Maybe next year, I'll try to make this thanksgiving must have dish.
Lastly, I hope everyone had a great time during thanksgiving :)
