Marmalade Marinade for Pork Tenderloin or chicken wings

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

Print This Post Print This Post

MaryAnne from Scottsdale called and tried this marinade from Sam the cooking guy but she used it on chicken wings. She marinaded the wings put them in the oven roasted them and then toward the end added more marinade.

Marinated pork tenderloin

  • 2-1 pound pork tenderloins
  • 1 cup orange marmalade
  • 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1.5 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1.5 tablespoons prepared horseradish

Steps

  1. Preheat grill on high
  2. Season pork with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
  3. Grill pork, turning to evenly brown well on all sides, then turn heat to medium
  4. Mix remaining ingredients in small bowl
  5. Begin basting pork once the heat is turned down – too soon and the sweet sauce will burn
  6. Continue cooking and basting until pork is the way you like it – which for me is just a tiny bit pink in the center
  7. Remove from grill and allow to rest a few minutes
  8. Warm remaining basting sauce in the microwave, and drizzle over sliced pork and serve

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).

Say “Cheese” without all the fat

Monday, May 16th, 2011

The Dairy Council of Arizona is joining us today and I thought it would be fun to try my hand at yogurt cheese.  I did variations and it was fun. I started off with a big container of Fage 2%.  I like the texture better than the 0% fat, but they both work.  Wrap in a thin cotton towel and place in a colander or strainer over a bowl.  Place in the refrigerator and occasionally ring it out so more water drips out.  Read More→
