PORK TENDERLOIN (ITALIAN STYLE)

Good morning everyone.  Thanks to those of you who had such beautiful comments on my blog yesterday.  It was such a hard day for me.  Thanks again.

Today I have a simple recipe that I make for a change of taste to the little Pork Loins.  You can get them at Trader Joe's two in a package, in most markets and at Costco.  They are about 1 1/4 inch around and cook up in about 35 minutes.  So you can easily have a delicious dinner on the table in about an hour.
There are so many ways to make these tasty loins and all are wonderful.  This is one that is my Italian version.  I hope you enjoy it.

PORK TENDERLOIN (ITALIAN STYLE)

2 little Pork Tenderloins about 1 1/4 ' around
Olive Oil
Garlic
Oregano
Red Wine
Salt and Pepper

Make slits in the tenderloins and put slivers of garlic in them.  In a large plastic bag add 1/2 cup Olive Oil, 1 tsp dried Oregano, 1/4 cup Red Wine.  Put the tenderloins in the bag and seal it up.  Lay the bag flat in a baking dish.  Let them marinate for about a 1/2 hour.  Heat oven to 425 degrees.  Remove tenderloins from bag and discard the juices.  Place them in a shallow pan and salt and pepper them.  Bake  for about 35 minutes.  Let stand for about 5 or 6 minutes before slicing.  While the pork is cooking you can boil little potatoes in water with about 1 tablespoon of salt.  When done, drain and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and some fresh chopped parsley.  Add a crisp green salad or some fresh asparagus (now in season).  And there you have a great, delicious dinner in a very short time.

Thanks for stopping in today
Ciao
