Description

Roasted pork tenderloin with apples, onions, and potatoes, finished with a rich port and dried plum sauce. Ready in under an hour and looks much fancier than the effort required.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lbs (454 g) pork tenderloin
  • 2 granny smith apples
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 lbs (454 g) small potatoes
  • 1.25 cups (296 ml) pitted prunes
  • 1 cups (237 ml) port wine
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp rosemary
  • 1 cups (237 ml) low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp whole grain dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Combine dried plums and port wine in a small bowl. Let sit for about an hour to plump the plums.
  2. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  3. Place apple slices, onion, potatoes, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Place pork tenderloin in a roasting pan. Season with remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary.
  5. Transfer the apple mixture to the roasting pan. Roast for 18-20 minutes, stirring vegetables occasionally, until pork is cooked to medium and onions and potatoes are cooked through and lightly browned.
  6. Transfer plums and port to a small saucepan. Add chicken broth. Heat over medium-high heat to boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer and reduce until liquid is about half and syrupy.
  7. Remove from heat. Whisk in mustard and butter until thick and glossy. Set aside.
  8. Remove roast from oven and transfer to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Slice roast into half-inch pieces and transfer to a serving platter.
  10. Scatter apples, potatoes, onions, and plums around the roast.
  11. Drizzle port sauce over the roast.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, marinate the pork tenderloin in the port wine for several hours before roasting.
  • If you don’t have granny smith apples, you can substitute another tart apple variety, like Braeburn or Honeycrisp.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
