This recipe was on the local news today. Hmmm, sounds good, I'm going to
try it tonight! Looks easy and tasty. I love anything with lime!
Elisa
Pork with Lime
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
4 7-ounce portions pork tenderloin
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin, bite size
pieces
1 large onion, peeled and sliced medium thick
6 Tbs butter
salt and pepper to taste
maple syrup for garnish
1-2 limes for juice
PROCEDURE:
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the sweet potatoes and
onions in a baking dish with 6-8 tablespoons of butter and salt and pepper
to taste, and roast them in the oven. After the potatoes roast for 15
minutes or so, season the pork with salt and pepper and sear it on the stove
top to develop a nice crust on all sides. When the pork's nicely browned,
add it to the sweet potatoes and onions and finish roasting it in the oven.
When the meat's done to your liking, (approx. 10-15 minutes depending on the
size of the tenderloin), put the sweet potatoes on the plate, the pork
tenderloin on top and drizzle it with some maple syrup and a good squeeze of
fresh limejuice.
HINTS:
Pork chops will work but they will take less time to cook. Yams
are a fine substitute for the sweet potatoes.
