I found this in Better Homes & Gardens while looking for heart healthy recipes. You wouldn't think it would be as delicious as it is since it is so easy and quick to make. I followed the reciipe exactly and can't find any reason to change one thing. Ingredients:
16 ounces pork tenderloin |
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 medium pears, peeled and coarsely chopped |
1/4 cup pure maple syrup |
2 tablespoons dried tart cherries, halved |
2 tablespoons dry white wine |
Directions:
1. Trim fat from meat. 2. Cut meat into 1/4-inch slices. 3. In a medium bowl combine rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. 4. Add meat slices; toss to coat. 5. In a large skillet, cook meat, half at a time, in hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until meat is slightly pink in center, turning once. 6. Remove meat from skillet; set aside. 7. In the same skillet combine pears, maple syrup, dried cherries, and white wine. 8. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. 9. Boil gently, uncovered, about 3 minutes or just until pears are tender. Return meat to skillet with pears; heat through. 10. To serve, use a slotted spoon to transfer meat to a warm serving platter. Spoon the pear mixture over meat. |
