Tonight's dinner was simple and delicious as well as a nice, light meal. I started out by heating the oven to 400 degrees and browning the pork tenderloin, seasoned with just salt and pepper. I then put it into a casserole dish and roasted it for 20 minutes.
I made dinner for 2 but one large tenderloin is enough for 4 and the vinaigrette recipe is for 4. On each plate, I have mounded fresh arugula and some diced tomatoes from the garden.
Garlic & Orange Vinaigrette
1 large orange
1 clove of garlic
1 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp mustard
Zest about half of the orange, juice the entire orange, grate one clove of garlic, add 1 Tbsp of honey and 2 Tbsp of olive oil. Whisk these together with 2 tsp of mustard to emulsify the dressing. I used a champagne and shallot mustard from Stonewall Kitchens. This one of my favourites.
Arrange slices of pork tenderloin over your salad and drizzle with the vinaigrette.
Bon Appetit,
Julie
I have a port tenderloin in the refrigerator, waiting to be cooked for lunch today. I'm going to try your pre-browning method.
