Pork Tenderloin with Greens and Apples

RespectLife, this is another one I've not tried yet.

 

Pork Tenderloin with Greens and Apples

skill level easy            time 1-30min                servings 2 to 4 

 

For the Greens:
2 bunches Swiss chard
4 Tablespoons olive oil (divided)

 

For the Pork:
1 pork tenderloin (cut into medallions)
4 Tablespoons Robiola *

 

For the Salad:
2 Tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 shallot
3 Tablespoons grain mustard
4 Tablespoons olive oil
salt
1 Granny Smith apple (julienned)
1 Tablespoon fresh tarragon


For the Pork: Season pork with salt on both sides

 

Heat 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Add pork and pan roast for about 2 minutes per side. Once the pork has been flipped top each piece with Robiola.

 

Cover pan with pot top to help melt the cheese for another 1-2 minutes. Once cheese has melted remove pork from pan.

 

For the Salad: Thinly slice the shallot and put in mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt, sherry vinegar, olive oil, mustard, torn tarragon, and julienned apple. Toss to combine and season with more salt if necessary.

 

For the Greens: Place Swiss chard on griddle with 2 Tablespoons olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes and flip. Cook until greens have wilted. Add another small pinch of salt and remove from heat.


To Serve: Plate cooked Swiss chard and top with a piece of pork. Top the pork with some of the apple tarragon salad and a drizzle of the vinaigrette from the bowl.

 

*Goat cheese is a good substitute–orLidia Bastianich suggests you substitute a mixture of 1/2 cup mascarpone and 1/3 cup ricotta.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

This looks so elegant!  Apples and pork go really well together.

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

Re: Pork Tenderloin with Greens and Apples

Thank you so much!

 

I actually haven't cooked much with 'greens'...it has been on my cooking list to do!

 

I LOVE goat cheese!  That's for clarifying since I never heard of the other.

 

Again, I really appreciate your sharing!!
