Orzo with lemon zest and Italian parsley would be lovely alongside. What to drink: Viognier or French Chardonnay. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1 1/2 tablespoons ground black pepper |
1 tablespoon salt |
2 teaspoons dried rubbed sage |
2 teaspoons fennel seeds, ground in spice mill or in mortar with pestle |
2 1/2 pounds pork tenderloins (about 2 large or 3 medium), trimmed of fat and sinew |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
fresh sage sprigs |
rhubarb compote |
Directions:
1. Mix 3 tablespoons olive oil, ground black pepper, salt, dried sage, and ground fennel in small bowl. Rub oil mixture all over pork tenderloins; place in large baking dish and let stand 20 minutes.
2. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of pork registers 150°F, turning pork occasionally, about 8 minutes longer for medium tenderloins and 10 minutes for large.
3. Transfer pork to cutting board; let rest 5 minutes. Cut pork crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices; arrange on platter. Sprinkle with parsley; garnish with sage sprigs. Serve with Rhubarb Compote.
