I too was a little worried about the anchovies, but they mixed right into the dish and gave it great flavor! I would recommend taking the time to use real garlic (not bottled) with this recipe and I doubled the peppers. This recipe is easy and amazing!
Pork Tenderloin with Red and Yellow Peppers
Pork tenderloin is a delicious weeknight staple. Jazz it up by slicing and pan frying with colorful bell pepeprs. Anchovies melt into the pepper mixture, adding a savory, salty quality. If you don't like anchovies, omit them and add 3 tablespoons minced olives. Serve with mashed potatoes.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces pork and about 1/2 cup bell pepper mixture)
