This week's meal includes Herb-Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Pan Sauce, Bacon Pecan Green Beans, and French Apple Tart.
The Herb-Marinated Pork Tenderloin is my favorite pork recipe. I have been making it for years, and it never disappoints. First, it's marinated overnight with fresh lemon juice, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, and a lot of fresh garlic. Then, after searing and roasting, I serve the pork with a classic pan sauce. I make the pan sauce with shallots, white wine, chicken stock, fresh thyme, fresh lemon juice, and of course, butter. It has a ton of flavor and is perfect with the Herb-Marinated Pork Tenderloin.
Bacon Pecan Green Beans are french green beans that are blanched and then roasted in butter and bacon fat for the ultimate flavor. They are topped with crispy bacon, candied pecans, and flaked sea salt. They are addictive!
My French Apple Tart is a simple, beautiful pastry topped with Honeycrisp apples, butter, and sugar. It's baked until the apples are tender and the sugar begins caramelizing. I then glaze it with an apricot thyme reduction. It's elegant and incredibly delicious. Of course, it would be delicious served with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I hope you enjoy this week's meal as much as I do! Next week's menu is Chicken Stew with Herb Biscuits, VK Spinach Salad, and Raspberry Crumble Bars.
