Ingredients

Marinade

Apple shallot sauce

Creamy dressing

Apple salad

Preparation

On the stove

Marinade and pork tenderloin

  1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add tenderloins and coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1–8 hours.
  2. Drain pork tenderloins and set aside marinade. In an oiled skillet over medium-high heat, sear pork tenderloins for 2 minutes on all 4 sides, brushing with marinade. Cover and continue cooking over medium-low heat until a thermometer inserted in centre of meat reads 60°C (140°F), about 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and let stand for 10 minutes.

Apple shallot sauce

  1. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, sauté apple, shallots and thyme in butter until soft. Deglaze with vinegar. Add broth and brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. Serve sauce as is or puree until smooth, adding more liquid if needed. Keep warm.

Creamy dressing

  1. Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together all creamy dressing ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.

Apple salad

  1. In a large bowl, combine apples, cabbage, spinach, herbs and dressing. Season to taste. Top with bacon and pecans. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries or strawberries, if desired.
  2. Thinly slice tenderloins. Serve with apple sauce and salad.
