Title: Balsamic-marinated Pork Tenderloins w- lemon-honey sauce
Date: 08/26/2007 18:06:19
Posted by: ChefBelle

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar


1 Tbsp. whole grain mustard


1 lb. pork tenderloin, trimmed


Salt and pepper


8 oz. glazed red grapes


1 tsp. EVOO


Ground black pepper


Preheat the grill to medium-high.  When hot lightly brush grates with vegetable oil.


Whisk balsamic and mustard together in a shallow baking dish.  Add tenderloin, turn to coat and marinade 10 minutes.


Gently toss grapes with oil and pepper in a bowl.  Remove tenderloin from the marinade (reserve for basting), and season with salt and pepper.  Place tenderloin on the grill, cover and cook 10 minutes.  Brush pork with the marinade, then turn over and brush again, arrange grapes clusters on the grill.  Cover and cook 10 more minutes (the grapes may be done sooner), or until pork registers 160* on an instant read thermometer and grapes have turned slighter lighter in color.  Let pork rest 5 minutes, then slice into eight 1" thick pieces.


 


LEMON-HONEY SAUCE:


1/4 cup shallots, thinly sliced


1/4 cup dry white wine


1 sprig fresh Rosemary


1 cup chicken broth


1/4 cup fresh lemon juice


2 Tbsp. honey


2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cold


Parmesan Polenta


Grilled grapes


Sprig of fresh Rosemary


Sauté shallots in oil in a saucepan over medium heat until softened, about 2 minutes.  Deglaze with wine, add rosemary and simmer until nearly all liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes.


Add broth, lemon juice and honey.  Simmer until reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes.  Remove and discard rosemary, then mix in butter.


Serve slices of pork on polenta and drizzle with sauce.  Garnish with grapes and rosemary.


PARMESAN POLENTA:


1-1/2 cup water


1 cup milk


1/2 cup fine-ground polenta


Pinch salt


2 Tbsp. Parmesan, shredded


Ground white pepper


Bring water, milk, polenta and salt to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring often.  Reduce heat to medium and simmer until polenta is the consistency of hot cereal, 5 minutes.


Stir in Parmesan and pepper.  Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.

My Comments:
this is a very good recipe and yes those are grapes, no wait a minute before you say ugh, they cook up to be very tasty and very sweet, I didn't believe it myself until we had this dish about two weeks ago at a dinner party and I talked the Chef into giving me the recipe to share with all of you. there are several steps in this recipe but follow them to a "T" and everything will turn out to be great!!!
