Pork with Creamy Poblano Sauce

Ingredients

2 pepper Poblano Pepper
1 tsp. Olive oil
1 small White onions (diced)
1 cup No salt added vegetable stock (or no salt added chicken stock)
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 ounce Semisoft goat cheese
16 ounces Pork tenderloin
1 spray Spray olive oil

Instructions

Place the poblanos in the oven and set the temperature to 325°F. Let them roast for 20 minutes. Remove and place in a paper bag. When cool, peel and seed. Dice the peppers.

Place the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the peppers, cumin, chicken broth and salt. Cook for about 20 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half.

Using a blender or mini-chopper, puree the pepper & onion mixture until smooth. Return it to the pan and add the goat cheese. Whisk it in as it melts until the sauce is smooth.

Place a large skillet in the oven and preheat to 425°F. When the oven comes to temperature, spray the pan lightly with oil and place the pork tenderloin in the pan. Roast for about 7 minutes and turn the tenderloin over. Roast, turning about every 5 minutes, for a total of about 20 minutes.

Remove the tenderloin from the oven, slice, and serve topped with the sauce.

Recipe Notes

This is a sauce that doesn’t seem spicy at first, but the poblanos give it a soft spiciness without a lot of burn. The sauce goes great on almost anything: beef, chicken or a more flavorful fish like tuna.

"There has been a lot of talk lately about the burdens of the Presidency. Decisions that the President has to make often affect the lives of tens of millions of people around the world, but that does not mean that they should take longer to make. Some men can make decisions and some cannot. Some men fret and delay under criticism. I used to have a saying that applies here, and I note that some people have picked it up, 'If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.'"

Harry S. Truman, 33rd President of the United States
