Welcome

Hello and Welcome. My intent is to show how to prepare “elegant” dishes at home and enjoy a little up-scale dining, that doesn’t always require buying the “Top of the line”.

You won’t find any Casseroles, Squash, South West or Mexican here; I tend to stick with New England, European and Chinese food groups as I enjoy them most.

As I have High blood pressure and high Cholesterol, I do not use any salt nor consume any beef or beef products.

My recipes are designed for two adults with an accompanying dish (I hate the word "side" it relegates an otherwise wonderful experience to nothingness). Typically my recipes take 1-1/2 hours or less from start to table (not counting marinating). So with that, let’s get to it.

Pork Tenderloin encrusted with Rosemary and Capers


Pork Tenderloin is always an enjoyable cut, but roasting it with crushed capers and rosemary adds a nice tweak to the flavor.

INGREDIENTS:

1 Pork Tenderloin ¾ to 1 lb.
2 tsp. Capers
2 Tbsp Fresh Lemon juice
Pinch Black Pepper, fresh ground
1 tsp fresh Rosemary
1/3 cup water
PREPARATION:

Wash the pork tenderloin and trim all fat. Pat dry and set aside.

Crush the capers with a fork. Wash, shake off water and strip the rosemary leaves, chop and combine with the ground black pepper in a prep bowl. Rub the mixture all over the pork and place the tenderloin in a shallow roasting pan
Add the water to pan. Pour lemon juice over tenderloin. Try not to dislodge the herbs/spices.

Preheat oven to 350°F

COOKING:

Bake in a 350 deg oven, uncovered, for about 30-45 min or until the meat thermometer registers 155 deg on an instant read thermometer. Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil tent and allow it to rest for about 10 min. Slice into 1 to1-1/2” slices and arrange on a serving dish. Garnish with fresh Rosemary sprigs.
