Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This is easy and very elegant. You can serve this to company and they’ll never know you’re on a diet.

Servings: Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 1 pork tenderloin, cut into ¼ – 1/3” slices. Cut crosswise across the tenderloin. Save ends for another use.
• ½ cup yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 3 leaves of fresh sage, chopped (you can use a ¼ tsp of dried too if you can’t get fresh)
• 3 Tbl of fresh Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup of sun-dried tomatoes packed dry.  Soak ahead of time in hot water for 15-30 minutes to hydrate. They will become soft. Pat dry and coarsely chop them up.
• extra-virgin olive oil spray (or regular will work)
• 1/2 cup of chicken broth (no sugar)
• 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream
• sea salt and pepper ground to taste

Instructions:

In a large sauté pan sprayed with olive oil, cook the onion, garlic, sage and sun-dried tomatoes over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Don’t let the garlic brown or it gets bitter-tasting.

Take the veggies out of the pan and set them aside in a dish. Spray pan again and cook the pork.

Add the pork tenderloin slices and cook for about 10 minutes. Flip at the half way point.

Stir in the broth and the cream and season with salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until sauce thickens. Cut open a piece of the pork to make sure there is little or no pink left. Add the veggies back into the sauce and just heat.

Serve the slices with 2 – 3 Tbl of sauce for each serving. There might be some sauce leftover.

A one pound pork tenderloin will offer up two servings with the end pieces as extra. This cream portion is half of your daily cream allowance.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
