Pork tenderloin makes for a terrific entertaining dish since it cooks so quickly and is wonderfully tender and moist. The Tuscan-inspired sauce makes pasta or risotto a perfect accompaniment.... Ingredients:
1 (1 lb) pork tenderloin (about 1 large) |
salt |
pepper |
1 tablespoon butter |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips |
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
1 cup 35% cream |
1 -1 1/2 cup fresh tomato, chopped (about 2) |
2 tablespoons fresh basil, shredded |
parmesan cheese, freshly grated |
Directions:
1. Cut pork tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions; sprinkle with a pinch each salt and pepper.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and swirl to coat pan. Brown pork, turning once, for about 1 minute per side or until golden. Transfer to a plate.
3. Add garlic, prosciutto and sage to pan and sauté for about 2 minutes or until prosciutto starts to brown. Add vinegar and boil, scraping up bits stuck to pan. Stir in cream; bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for about 5 minutes, ,until sauce is slightly thickened.
4. Stir in pork with any accumulated juices and tomatoes. Simmer, stirring and turning pork once, for about 5 minutes or just until a hint of pink remains in pork. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with basil and Parmesan cheese.
5. COOKING TIP: Choose the ripest tomatoes possible for the best flavor. Often plum (Roma) or grape tomatoes have better flavor when regular ones are out of season.
