Ingredients:

Serving

3 slices bacon, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp kosher salt
1 pinch red pepper flakes
8 cups kale, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth , plus
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 large tomato, diced
2 tsp cider vinegar
fresh ground black pepper
2 tbsp cajun seasoning
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp kosher salt
2 (14 oz) pork tenderloin , each halved crosswise
1/2 cup chicken stock
store-bought dinner rolls or biscuit

Directions:

FOR THE GREENS: Cook the bacon over medium heat in a large skillet until browned, about 6 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper flakes and tomato, and cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the kale and 1 1/2 cups broth, cover, cook until wilted, about 8 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup broth and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
FOR THE PORK: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the Cajun spice, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and salt to make paste. Rub the pork with spice paste. Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add the remaining olive oil and sear the pork, turning until all sides are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes total. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat registers 150 degrees F, about 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest on a cutting board. Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup chicken broth. Reduce a little and swirl in 2 tablespoons butter. Thinly slice the pork, divide among 4 plates. Drizzle with pan sauce and serve with the greens and dinner rolls or biscuits.
