SPICED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES

Last night was meal #2 from the November Double Issue of Cooking Light.  It was the perfect meal for the cold, damp weather outside.  Perfect comfort food!
I have to admit, that as always, I did tweak this just a little bit.  That often happens based upon what ingredients I have on hand and the tastes of my family.  This recipe calls for sauteed apples and scallions to be served with the pork medallions.  While that sounded quite yummy to  me, I knew the rest of the cavemen living in my house wouldn’t think so.  To please them I just sauteed apples in a side pan and served them on the side of my own serving but left them off of the remainder.  I also prepared a little more than the recipe called for, as usual, and only had a couple of bits leftover.  We had sauteed kale, prepared with a little olive oil, garlic and apple cider, on the side.  The cavemen also had roasted potatoes.  (I would show you a photo, but they weren’t very pretty and my desktop computer has a mind of its own lately!)  So, enjoy the beautiful professional photo of this delicious dinner!

Hope you try this one!
