Рецепт Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Figs and Red Onion
Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Figs and Red Onion
August 18, 2015・Bill Harris・4 Comments
Fig season is here, and when I saw big, plump, black mission figs on the market shelves last weekend I had to buy some. I’ve said before that figs are not my most favorite fruit. I’ve never really enjoyed them raw, but last year I made grilled lamb chops with roasted figs and my opinion of them shifted. Something about the roasted figs in a savory dish changed my mind. Sweet and savory dishes always get my attention.
Since lamb paired so well with figs, I knew that pork tenderloin would be the perfect fig companion for this recipe. I completed the dish with rosemary, red onions, and a sauce of chicken stock, whole grain mustard, maple syrup, and butter.
The last week or so, the temperature has finally dropped into the 80s after a summer of nothing but 90+ degrees. The relentless heat has me wishing for the arrival of fall. With cooler temperatures, I’m sensing a slight feeling of fall in the air. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, though. This pork tenderloin and fig combination seems like a transitional dish with a taste of fall. I’m a total summer person, but this year, I welcome the change of seasons and delicious fall flavors.
