Preparation

What You Need

1 lb (450 g) pork tenderloin
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp (15 ml) butter
2 cups (500 ml) grape tomatoes or
cherry tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup (250 ml) 35 % whipping cream
1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped fresh basil
Black olives or
green olives (optional)

Instructions

Cut pork tenderloin into 1-inch (2 1/2 cm) thick medallions; sprinkle with 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and swirl to coat pan. Sauté pork, turning once, for about 1 min per side. Transfer to a plate.

Add tomatoes to skillet and cook, shaking pan occasionally, for about 3 min or until starting to brown and burst. Stir in garlic and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper. Stir in cream; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 min, until sauce is slightly thickened and tomatoes are softened.

Stir in pork with any accumulated juices. Simmer, stirring and turning pork once, for about 5 min or just until a hint of pink remains in pork. Stir in basil. Serve garnished with black or green olives, if desired.
