This family style dish is called hot lightning because it stays hot on the table when served, a reminder not to eat too quickly. Old family recipe, apple, pork, potato and onion are always a great combination. We leave the washed apple and potato peels on because we grow organically and peels contain good vitamins. You can substitute the apples with apple sauce. Here is the recipe.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
