I've had this pork tenderloin recipe saved for a while, and it was a cinch to cook. Aubrey said he could eat it every night for supper, so I know he liked it. I accidentally forgot to add the remainder of the salt and pepper to the shallot mixture, but it still tasted just right.
5 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
2 1/4 cups thinly sliced shallots (about 8)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup water
2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Directions:
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Add pork to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from pan and keep warm
Add remaining 4 teaspoons oil to pan; reduce heat to medium. Add shallots to pan. Cook 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup water and vinegar; simmer 6 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Spoon shallot mixture over pork. Serve immediately.

I love shallots and finding new ways to use them! I do not however like pork chops...so I will be trying this with Chicken! Do you think it would go well with chicken?
If you don't want to try this on pork, I think it would be good with chicken, also. My trick to chicken is to pound it to an even thickness so it cooks evenly. I think it's more tender that way, too!
Yum, Yum! It all sounds great to me, and it doesn't seem like it'll take a long time to make! That's a huge plus for me!
Illu!
