Pork tenderloin, one of the leanest sources of protein, is a smart, low-fat choice for an entrée. Our Test Kitchen gave it an herb rub to keep flavor high and sodium low, then paired it with a dried-cherry relish, rich in antioxidants, for a fabulous, heart-healthy meal as good for you as it is good! Ingredients:
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon each dried oregano, tarragon and rosemary, crushed |
2 pork tenderloins (1 pound each), trimmed |
relish: |
1 large red onion, sliced |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 cup dried cherries |
1/4 cup red wine vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder and herbs; rub over pork. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. For relish, in a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add sugar; cook and stir over medium heat for 10 minutes or until onion is browned. Add the cherries, vinegar and rosemary. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
3. Place pork on a rack in a shallow roasting pan lined with foil. Bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with relish. Yield: 8 servings (1 cup relish).
