Pork Tenderloin with mushroom sauce

Happy Sunday night! I am back from a work trip to Bend, and can post this great recipe I cooked last week on Wednesday. Surprise surprise, I got it from Cooking Light magazine. It is one of their budget recipe, for $2.45 per serving. It is one of my new favorites, because it is pretty lean and a great value.

I buy the Pork Tenderloin at Costco- because you buy 4 lbs for $19, and you can't beat that price. I cooked two 1lb pieces, and we had leftovers for lunch the next day.

This is the first time I cooked with Creme Fraiche- an acquired taste, for sure, but it turned out good in the sauce. I bought the mushrooms at Costco too, because then I had leftovers for this mushroom pasta I will cook this coming week.

Enough talking- let's get to the main subject- the food :)

Ingredients
1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed
3/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1 8 oz package button mushroom, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 cup fat-free lower sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup creme fraiche (sour cream will do as well, if you can't find creme fraiche)
2 tsp Dijon mustard
3 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions
Place a small roasting pan in oven. Preheat oven to 425. Sprinkle pork evenly with 1/2 tsp of salt and pepper. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to preheated pan. Add pork to pan, and roast for 10 minutes, then turn and roast for another 10 minutes. You should insert a meat thermometer and read at least 145 degrees, so you know it is cooked through and properly. In a separate saute pan, add the remaining olive oil and saute the mushrooms on medium heat, for 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1minute, stirring constantly. Stir in vinegar, and bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute until vinegar evaporates. Add broth and remaining salt and pepper, cook until liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup. Remove from heat, stir in creme fraiche and mustard.

Serve it with corn and sautee spinach ( I saute it with garlic and balsamic vinegar).

Love this recipe- will include it again in the coming months :) each serving has 257 calories, 15 g of fat, 3 g of carb.
