Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons grainy mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Two 12-ounce pork tenderloins, tied with twine
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 large (or 8 medium) shallots, ends trimmed, peeled, and quartered
1 small fennel bulb, greens trimmed, cut into thin slices
1 1/2 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
12 dried apricots
1/4 cup cognac
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine mustards. Salt and pepper the pork; rub with mustards; sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Pat coating. Set aside.
  • Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Sear pork, turning, until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan; set aside. Add remaining oil and butter to pan. Add shallots and fennel. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup stock; cook until liquid evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Return pork to pan; add apricots, 1/2 cup stock, and cognac. Roast in oven, stirring vegetables, until pork registers 160 degrees, about 20 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board; place pan over medium-low heat. Add remaining stock and thyme; stir, loosening brown bits from bottom. Simmer 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; slice pork. Serve with vegetables and sauce. Garnish with thyme.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit! The pork was so tender and juicy, and the apricot-fennel ragout was the perfect accompaniment.
