Made for a dinner party (though I'm vegetarian). Everyone raved about the flavors. I substituted vegetable broth and added crushed garlic clove to sauce and to kale. The kale was excellent too. Served with quinoa stuffed peppers and thyme roasted baby potatoes and carrots. Everyone went home with the recipe.
Honey-Mustard Pork Tenderloin with Kale
Matching the robust nature of stone-ground mustard with the sweetness of honey gives this sweet-hot marinade a unique character. To save time, start the sauce and cook the kale while the pork tenderloin is baking.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces meat, 3 tablespoons sauce, and 1/2 cup kale)
