This juicy and tender pork dish comes together easily for a weeknight dinner. It doesn’t require a lot of hands-on time, so you’ll be able to whip up some mashed potatoes or greens to serve on the side while the pork tenderloin is cooking in the oven. This makes it equally great for a dinner party or a weeknight meal.
You probably already have most of the ingredients on hand, like mustard, brown sugar, onions and apples. The pork is tender, and the apple and onion compote adds a sweet touch and textural contrast. The glaze is just a little spicy, creating the perfect blend of flavors for pork tenderloin. Make it this week and show everyone just how delicious your new year will be.
