POLISH PORK TENDERLOIN IN APPLE-ONION SAUCE & SAUERKRAUT
Made this for Easter with fresh pork from a local farm. ABSOLUTELY delicious and tender. Very unfussy, great for everyday. I use Polish Grill Seasoning but you can use any seasoning or make your own with any combo such as 1 tsp. each of marjoram, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.

TERIYAKI, DIJON PORK TENDERLOIN W/ MUSHROOMS/ONION/BAKED APPLE
My entry into the 2009 Canadian Living Magazine Cook of the Year Contest. The recipe did not make the cut, but it is tasty and certainly worthy of sharing. You will note the absence of salt and/or pepper. I am thinking there is sufficient sodium and seasonings in the Teriyaki sauce and Dijon Mustard to justify eliminating additional seasoning from the recipe.... Salt/Sodium should never overpower other ingredients. If additional salt is requested, by all means, do provide it, but suggest that they taste first, and salt second. Pork Tenderloin can be purchased from your local supermarket in packages of two tenderloins, weighing approximately one kilo. This is usually sufficient for a dinner serving 4. This recipe was originally developed to serve 8; you will therefore require two packages of pork tenderloin - 2 loins per package..... As they say in Ontario "PUT PORK ON YOUR FORK".

Steps:
- Oven 350°F.
- Peel, core and rough chop the apple. In a small, covered sauce pan add 1/3 C water and chopped apple. Over medium/low heat, cook into unsweetened apple sauce. If the apple sauce is a bit lumpy, that's OK; it will cook down during the roasting process. Mix well, then set aside for later use.
- Clean and quarter mushrooms.
- Add about 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil to a saute pan deep enough to hold all the mushrooms, with stems, and sliced onion. Over medium heat, clarify onion; add mushrooms and garlic; cover the pan, and allow to saute, for about 5 minutes.
- Add rubbed sage to mushroom/onion mixture and combine well. Remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, place honey, teriyaki sauce, Dijon mustard; add unsweetened apple sauce (which you had set aside).
- Add mushrooms and onion to honey mixture and mix well.
- Add additional olive oil to same frying pan and brown pork tenderloin on all sides.
- Arrange pork tenderloin in oval, roasting pan with a cover. Roasting pan should comfortably accommodate all 4 tenderloins. Pour prepared mushroom/onion mixture over tenderloins in roasting pan. Cover and bake one hour.
- When done, remove tenderloin from roasting pan to warmed serving platter. Cover with foil and allow to sit for about 10 minutes. Return roasting pan to low heat on stove top, to keep the sauce hot.
- Carve each tenderloin in half. You will have 8 tenderloin pieces, 6 to 8 oz. each. Arrange on warmed serving platter and spoon mushroom/onion sauce over the meat. Arrange cherry tomatoes around the serving platter; garnish with sprigs of fresh herbs.
- Serve with rice, orzo, potatoes, and vegetables of your choosing; additional sauce in a gravy boat would not go amiss.
Tips:
- Tenderize the Pork Tenderloin: Use a meat mallet or a fork to tenderize the pork tenderloin before cooking. This will help break down the fibers and make the meat more tender.
- Use Good Quality Apples and Onions: The quality of your apples and onions will greatly affect the flavor of the dish. Choose crisp, sweet apples and pungent, flavorful onions.
- Don't Overcook the Pork: Pork tenderloin is a lean cut of meat that can easily become dry if overcooked. Cook the tenderloin until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- Make Sure the Apples and Onions Are Caramelized: The caramelized apples and onions add a delicious sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish. Make sure to cook them until they are golden brown and slightly soft.
- Use a Quality Cooking Liquid: The cooking liquid adds flavor and moisture to the dish. Use a good quality broth or stock, such as chicken, beef, or vegetable broth.
- Serve Immediately: Pork tenderloin is best served immediately after cooking. If you need to make it ahead of time, let it cool completely and then reheat it gently before serving.
Conclusion:
Apple onion pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make main course that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The tender pork, caramelized apples and onions, and flavorful cooking liquid come together to create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
