ready from start to finish in appx 1 hour. plenty for lunch the next day and another meal during the week.
grilled maple apple pork tenderloin (recipe adapted from Uncle Ben's box)
ingredients:
1 pork tenderloin, salt and peppered on all sides
1 green apple, diced
1/4 cup maple syrup
2tbsp walnuts, chopped (optional...we didn't use...no tree nuts in this home!)
grill the tenderloin; sear on all sides on high; cook on med/med-high appx 10 min on each side, coat with maple apple mixture and continue to cook until meat thermometer reads 170. let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
maple apple mixture: in a small saucepan, cook diced apples over medium heat for 10 min, stirring constantly. add walnuts and maple syrup and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes. remove from heat and let stand until needed. this concoction looks a bit unappetizing...just so you know.
while tenderloin is cooking, prepare sides.
wild rice
ingredients:
box o' uncle ben's wild rice, original recipe
follow directions from Uncle Ben's long grain and wild rice original recipe box
fresh (the only way to eat) green beans
ingredients:
piles of fresh green beans
snap ends, steam on stovetop. i like my green beans bright green and still a bit crunchy (although my picture is not representative).
add a bit of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. toss well.
*review:the boy and the girl gobbled it all gone (especially after i told the girl i covered the meat in apples and maple syrup)!! of course hubby loved it...it's meat! he said it makes great sandwiches, too.
