- Here's two Pork Tenderloin recipes. The first I have tried
- several times and like a lot. The second I haven't tried but I
- intend to soon! The first recipe is from the Sunset Easy Basics
- for Good Cooking cookbook.
-
- Pork Tenderloin with Onion-Apple Cream
-
- 3/4 to 1-pound pork tenderloin
- 6 Tbls. cream (I've used soy milk since I never have cream on
- hand)
- 2 Tbls. cream sherry
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. prepared horseradish
- 1 Tbls. butter or margarine
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small golden Delicious apple, thinly sliced (I've used any
- variety of apple I have on hand)
- Salt and pepper
-
- Put pork on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
- Stir together cream, sherry, mustard and horseradish in a small
- bowl. Brush half of mixture over pork and roast uncovered at 325
- degrees, brushing often with cream mixture, for 45 to 60 minutes
- or until pork meat is no longer pink in the center when slashed
-
- Melt butter in a wide frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and
- apple and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft (about 20
- minutes).
-
- Transfer pork to a platter and keep warm. Pour pan drippings and
- any remaining cream mixture into the onion mixture. Bring to a
- boil over high heat, season to taste with salt and pepper. Pass
- the sauce at the table (makes 2 servings)
-
- PORK TENDERLOINS WITH GUACAMOLE
- (from the Williams-Sonoma cookbook "Grilling")
-
- 1/2 cup dry red or white wine
- 2 Tbls. vinegar (balsamic, red or white)
- 2 Tbls. olive oil
- 2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
- 2 lb. pork tenderloins trimmed of visible fat
-
- 2 or 3 large ripe avocados
- 1 large ripe tomato peeled, seeded and chopped
- 2 Tbls. chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 Tbls. or more fresh lime juice
- 1/2 tsp. tabasco sauce
- 1 tsp. minced fresh jalapeno (optional)
-
- warm tortillas
-
- Stir together wine, vinegar, oil, thyme, salt and pepper. Place
- tenderloins in a glass or porcelain dish or enameled baking pan
- just large enough to hold them in one layer. Pour wine mixture
- over pork, cover and refrigerate at for least 2 hours, turning
- occasionally.
-
- Place avocado meat in bowl and mash coarsely with a fork. Add
- the tomato, garlic and cilantro, then mix in the lime juice. Add
- tabasco sauce, jalapeno and salt and pepper to taste. Press a
- piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole
- and refrigerate until serving.
-
- Prepare a fire in a grill. Position oiled grill rack 4-6 inches
- above the fire. Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and pat
- them dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade. Grill the
- pork for about 25 minutes, brushing the meat occasionally with
- the marinade and turning frequently so it browns evenly. It is
- done when a meat thermometer registers 160 F (70 C). Remove from
- grill and let rest 5 minutes before cutting into thin slices on
- the diagonal. Serve with guacamole and tortillas.
