As opposed to dogs, human beings are able to learn new tricks, even as they age. (by the way, so can dogs, but, like humans, it's harder) Having just come from a week in Mexico, where all I did was try new things, I'm inspired to have more new recipes on the menu this week than I usually do. Not mexican dishes, mind you--I need a break--but new nonetheless.
Here's to a week of trying new things! Leave a comment and let me know what new things YOU'RE trying this week!
Sunday: Pork Tenderloin with Cherry-Black Pepper Sauce, steamed broccoli, brown rice pilaf (boxed, such as Near East)
Pork Tenderloin with Cherry-Black Pepper Sauce
oven to 425.
Sprinkle pork with 3/4 t. salt and 1/2 t. black pepper. Melt 1 t. butter in large skillet over med-high heat. Add 2lb pork tenderloin; cook 2 min. on each side or until browned. Transfer pork to jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425 for 25 min or until done. Remove pork from oven; let stand 10 min.
Return skillet to med. heat. Add 1/4 c. sliced shallots; cook 3 min or until shallots are translucent, stirring occasionally. Add 1 t. black pepper, 1/4 t. salt, 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, and 1/2 cup cherry preserves. Bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Reduce heat to low and simmer 6 min or until sauce slightly thickens. Stir in 2 T. butter.
Serve sauce with pork.
