Pork Tenderloin


Best roast pork tenderloin ever:
2.75 pounds pork tenderloin, in my case, this is two pieces


Marinade the pork for about 2 hours in this mixture

2T fresh ginger (peeled and minced)
5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 pint chicken stock
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 T kosher salt

After 2 or so hours, remove the pork and pat dry with paper towels. Discard marinade, even though it hurts
Put 2T oil in a cast iron pan and heat

Preheat oven to 350
Brown the pork on all sides, about 2 minutes a side, so 8 minutes on the stovetop.

Slide it into the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Well, after 16, you can turn the oven off and let it coast. Then remove from oven. Let rest, then slice.

This is shown served with tri-color farfalle (butterfly/bowtie) pasta in a simple sauce (butter, flour, cream, parmesan) with kale that has been lightly sauteed with a little pre-sauteed sausage.

Don't hate me.

This is me enjoying a limoncello in Rome on the last night of our trip to Italy. Funny thing is, I don't really like limoncello that much, but thought it would be great in a dessert. And wouldn't you know, The Barefoot Contessa just did a great fruit salad with limoncello. So now I can't. Oh, well.
