Pork Tenderloin with Peaches, Plums, & Cherry and Pistachio Wild Rice

  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 1 tsp. safflower oil
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 peaches and 2 plums pitted and sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened dried cherries, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsalted roasted pistachios shelled and coarsely chopped

Preheat Over to 375 degrees F.

Rinse rice under cold water; drain.  Combine rice with 2 cups water in a medium pot over high heat and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low, so liquid is at a bare simmer.  Cover pot and simmer for 40 minutes.  Remove pot from heat and keep covered for 10 minutes.

Coat a large ovenproof saute pan with oil and set over medium high heat.  Season pork with salt and pepper.  When pan is hot, sear pork for 2 minutes per side to brown.  Add peaches and plums around seared pork and transfer pan to oven.  Roast pork, peaches and plums for about 20 minutes (until a thermometer registers 145 degrees F) when inserted into the center of the pork.  Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes.

Fluff rice and stir in cherries and pistachios.  Slice pork into 1/4 inch pieces or 4 portions.  Divide rice mixture, pork, and fruit among four plates.

Don and I had a surprisingly great dinner tonight.  I like to experiment and I have been dreaming of whipping out my bamboo steamer basket and making something using a whole fish.  I went to Whole foods and got a Branzino and a Thai Snapper so we could compare the two.   I had the nice young man clean it and scale it.  I brought it home made slits in both sides and put them in a baggie with a great marinade (recipe to follow).
