Red currant jelly renders the sauce a vibrant crimson, though you can use any variety of fruit jelly. Add quick-cooking grits and a Caesar salad on the side. Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika |
1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed |
cooking spray |
1/3 cup red currant jelly |
3 tablespoons cider vinegar |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Cut pork crosswise into 8 (1-inch-thick) pieces. Place each piece between 2 pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Rub pork with spice mixture.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan, and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Remove pork from pan; keep warm.
3. Add jelly to pan; cook 30 seconds, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Remove from heat; stir in vinegar. Serve sauce with pork; sprinkle with chives.
