Pork Tenderloins with Cinnamon and Cranberries
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
- 2 pork tenderloins, about 1 lb (454 g) each
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) fresh cranberries
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) chicken broth
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
- In a bowl, combine the cinnamon and 15 ml (1 tablespoon) olive oil. Brush the tenderloins with the cinnamon oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, brown the tenderloins in the remaining oil. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, brown the onion and garlic, adding oil as needed. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a
- wooden spoon to free any browned bits. Return the tenderloins to the skillet, transfer to
- the oven and roast until pale pink in the centre, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the meat’s thickness.
- Remove from the oven. Tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice the tenderloins. Arrange the slices on plates and spoon the cranberry-flavoured cooking juices over them. Delicious with
- Leek and Potato Gratin, rice or couscous.
