Anne Burrell's Pork Tenderloin with Peach Chutney and Farro _ Worst Cooks in America _ Food Network
**A Delightful Pork Tenderloin with Peach Chutney and Farro**
As we begin this culinary journey, let's take a look at the ingredients that make up our dish. We have a beautiful pork tenderloin, a lean cut of meat with very little fat, making it perfect for quick cooking. To enhance its flavor, we've added diced peaches, which will provide a sweet contrast to the savory pork.
To cook the pork, we'll use a thermometer to ensure it reaches a safe internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Since our pork tenderloin is relatively thin, it will cook quickly. We'll start by browning it on both sides in a hot pan, which will create a nice crust and lock in the juices.
Next, we'll transfer the pork to the oven for about 10 minutes, or until it reaches our desired temperature. To prevent overcooking, we'll use a timer to keep an eye on its progress. Meanwhile, we'll prepare the base of our dish by sautéing some onions and fennel in olive oil until they're soft and fragrant.
While the pork is cooking, let's think about the flavor profile of our dish. We have pork, peaches, farro, and a variety of herbs and spices that will come together to create a harmonious balance of flavors. The pork tenderloin is the star of the show, but it's not alone – we've added a sweet and savory peach chutney to add depth and complexity to our dish.
To make the peach chutney, we'll combine cooked peaches with some garlic, fennel, and chicken stock, which will provide a rich and flavorful base for our sauce. We'll also add some browned onions and fennel from our sauté pan to give it an extra boost of flavor.
Once the pork is done cooking, we'll let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to stay moist. To finish our dish, we'll stir in some farro, which has been cooked with olive oil, garlic, and fennel. The farro will provide a nice texture contrast to our tender pork.
As we plate our dish, let's add some finishing touches to bring everything together. We'll sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs on top, including the fennel fronds from our sauté pan. Finally, we'll drizzle the peach chutney over our pork tenderloin and serve it with a side of farro.
To complete this dish, we'll also add a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to give it an extra kick. And that's it – our delicious pork tenderloin with peach chutney and farro is ready to be devoured.
**Tips and Variations**
One of the best things about this recipe is its versatility. Feel free to customize your dish by adding or substituting different ingredients to suit your taste preferences. For example, you could add some diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the sauté pan with the onions and fennel. Or, if you prefer a spicier sauce, you could add more red pepper flakes or use hot sauce to give it an extra kick.
When cooking with pork tenderloin, remember to let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to stay moist. And don't forget to use a thermometer to ensure your pork reaches a safe internal temperature – it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to food safety.
Finally, be sure to taste your dish as you go and adjust the seasoning accordingly. The peach chutney should add a sweet and tangy flavor to our dish, but feel free to add more or less depending on your personal preference. With its combination of savory pork, sweet peaches, and nutty farro, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
