Throwback Thursday: Spiced Pork Tenderloin w/ Sauteed Apples

May 26, 2011 12 comments Article Main Course, Meat, Recipes

There is something peculiar about combining sweet and salty flavors. I used to find my self being skeptical about pairing strange flavors, but recently they have really begun to intrigue me. Pork and apples is an old favorite combination of sweet and salty that never has seemed to bother me, probably because it is so common. Today, I find myself trying to find more unique combinations, but this is one recipe that will definitely still stay in the back of my head.

This recipe is great to serve when you have guests. The shallots give the sauteed apples a unique salty kick which pairs perfectly with a tasty slice of spiced pork tenderloin. A nice scoop of garlic mashed potatoes serves as a great side for this dish.

    I’m not much of a pork eater but that photo makes me want to try this out. I really looks good! I can see how the apple taste enhances the taste of the meat – this looks like a winning recipe.

    Oh my gosh, yum! I’m not usually a huge lover of fruit in savory dishes (I know, I know, I need to get over it) but this dish would be my kicker. Great color on the pork too!

    What great flavor combinations! I love cooking with shallots. They are one of my favorite ingredients to work with.

    Now pork can be even juicier… the USDA lowered the recommended cooking temperature of pork to 145F like beef and lamb!

    This looks amazing! I have a pork chop recipe with shallots, thyme, and apples. This would be a great one to try as well!

    You’ve provided a few personal touches to the traditional entree of pork and apples(or applesauce). Keeping the apples crisp-tender is a good suggestion, as they’ll provide a nice textural contrast to the silken pork tenderloin.

    That sounds incredible!
