Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Salt and pepper
- 1 pound boneless pork tenderloin medallions (I used AdapTable® Meals Herb and Olive Oil Boneless Pork Tenderloin Medallions)
- ½ small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup dry red wine (can substitute cranberry juice or water)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
Whipped goat cheese
- 4 ounces goat cheese (or feta)
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. On a sheet pan, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
- Meanwhile, make the whipped goat cheese. Add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
- Next, heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Working in batches, sear the pork for about 3-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium-rare or 155°F for medium-well. Remove from the skillet and loosely tent with aluminum foil. Let rest while you make the cranberry sauce.
- To the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the cranberries, red wine, balsamic vinegar, honey and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes until the cranberries pop and thicken to a sauce consistency. Discard the thyme sprig. If desired, thin out with water. Remove from heat and transfer the pork back to the skillet with the cranberries.
- To serve, spread the whipped goat cheese onto a plate, then top with pork, potatoes and cranberry sauce.
