Ingredients
Serves 4
12 oz pork tenderloin, all visible fat discarded, cut crosswise into 1-inch slices
2 tsp light margarine
1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled and chopped
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
5 ounces fat-free evaporated milk
1/8 tsp salt
pinch of white pepper
pinch of ground nutmeg
2 tbsp fresh parsley
Preparation
- Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound the pork slices to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Lightly spray a large skillet with a non-stick cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Place the pork in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until tender and no longer pink in the center. Transfer to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium.
- In the same skillet, melt the margarine, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the apple and onion for 5 minutes, or until the onion is tender, stirring constantly. Stir in the garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the remaining ingredients except the parsley. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in parsley. Return pork to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the pork. Cook over low heat for 1 minute, or until heated through.
