Pork Chops with Balsamic Vinegar Glaze

We’ve all seen the ads — ‘Pork: The Other White Meat’! As we all try to trim down with our New Year’s Resolution it makes sense to examine other forms of meat that are less in fat. Lean pork, such as pork tenderloin, contains about the same amount of fat as a boneless, skinless chicken breast. Extremely tender and juicy when prepared correctly, pork tenderloin is an excellent low-fat meat option to incorporate into your diet. Not only is pork tenderloin low in fat but it also contains iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B12 and B6. So, if you are looking for an alternative to boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pork tenderloin is a great option.

Pork Medallions with Polenta, Spinach & Mustard Sauce

Cooking Pork Tenderloin:

Pork tenderloin is very simple to prepare. We prefer to brown the tenderloin in a skillet with a little olive oil, then transfer the skillet to the oven and bake at 350° F for about 30-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 155° F. Tent with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
