Paula Dean’s Healthy Pork Tenderloin?
Most meals I try to make relatively healthy, especially compared to some of the recipes on Food Network shows like Barefoot Contessa and Paula’s Home Cooking. However, my lady Paula can make something lowfat when she tries. Her grilled pork tenderloin with soy sauce and green onions has saved me in that “What am I going to make for dinner?” panic more than once. It’s easy and contains items I usually have on hand. ( I try to always keep a pork tenderloin in the freezer because it’s so versatile.)
This particular time, I added half a cup of soy to the juice of half a lime and two blood oranges, along with the tamarind, garlic, and green onions. Instead of overnight, I only had about an hour and a half to marinate the pork. But it still roasted up nicely in the oven while I steamed green beans sprinkled with matching flavors of minced garlic, soy sauce, and brown sugar and then mixed polenta with a few dashes of white truffle oil. Reducing the marinade into a sauce for the pork also made for a little something to drizzle over the polenta.
It was a really tasty meal that made great leftovers the next day.
