Pork Tenderloin with Onion Marmalade - Conquer the Crave

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This dish is so homey. It’s a lovely way to sweeten up onions and make a wonderful thick sauce for the pork. You can also serve this with chicken and it would be delightful.

Servings: Serves 4+

Ingredients:

For the Pork

2 pork tenderloins. Serving size is 6 oz per person. 2 tenderloins usually serve 4 – 5 with a few ends of leftovers.
olive oil spray
your favorite meat rub

For the Marmelade

2 large onions. I use Vidalia. They are already sweeter.
1 tsp of grated sea salt
grated fresh pepper to taste.
2 cups of chicken stock
1 Tbl of balsamic vinegar
½ cup of heavy cream

Instructions:

For the Pork

Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.

Lightly spray the pan and lightly spray the pork tenderloin. Then just sprinkle on your favorite meat rub (no sugar). Or sea salt and pepper will do, too.

Roast in the oven at 375 degrees for approximately 20-30 minutes until 160 degrees or until your preference of temperature is reached. At 160 degrees the pork will still have a bit of pink it and will be very juicy. Let stand for a few minutes before slicing.

For the Marmalade

Put the onions, sea salt, pepper, vinegar and stock in a large sauce pan. Cover and cook on medium in a light bubble until almost all of the liquid is evaporated. Remove cover. Stir. Add the cream and stir again. Heat at least until cream is hot. If you want thicker sauce you can continue to cook a bit longer until the cream thickens a bit. Serve with the pork.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
