Categories     Pork     Roast

Yield Serves 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 24

Cranberry Stuffing:
1 1/2 cups sun-dried cranberries
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Pinch ground cloves
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cascabel powder
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1(1 1/2 to 2 pound) pork tenderloin, butterflied
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, finley diced
1 stalk celery, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 cups chicken stock
1 cup apple juice concentrate, thawed
2 teaspoons chipotle puree
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 tablespoons cold butter
Salt

Steps:

  • Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the cranberries, remove from the heat and let rest 1 hour, drain, reserving the soaking liquid and place in the bowl of a food processor. Add the pine nuts, cinnamon, cloves, brown sugar, cascabel powder, and a few tablespoons of the soaking liquid. Pulse until coarsely chopped, remove to a bowl and stir in the cilantro. Place the tenderloin on a work surface and season on both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Spread a thin layer of the stuffing down the center, fold each side over the filling, and tie with a butcher's twine and dredge lightly in the flour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the oil in a oven proof saute pan until smoking. Saute the tenderloin on all sides until golden brown. Place in the oven and roast until almost cooked through about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and let rest 10 minutes. Slice into 1 inch pieces. Sauce: Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, carrot and celery and cook until soft, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the stock, juice concentrate, chipotle puree and peppercorns, increase the heat to high and cook the sauce until reduced to 2 cups, about 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the sauce into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Overall, this recipe was pretty good. The pork was tender and the stuffing was flavorful. The cranberries added a nice touch of sweetness. However, I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I think next time I'll add some more herbs and spices.
