Pork Tenderloin With Summer Squash Couscous Recipes

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH MUSHROOMS AND COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes. Remove to a plate, reserving the drippings in the pot. Add the celery, onion and mushrooms to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the wine, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until reduced, about 1 minute.
• Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the pork and rosemary. Cover and gently simmer until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Discard the rosemary. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the pot and stir until melted; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the parsley.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the couscous and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon butter; season with salt and pepper. Thickly slice the pork and serve with the couscous; top with the mushroom sauce.

When the peppers begin to "dance" add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, and continue to cook while shaking the pan, until the ingredients begin to blister. Remove from pan and season with salt and lemon juice and zest to taste.
• Slice the tenderloin into 1/4-inch pieces. Evenly distribute the sauteed squash and peppers onto four plates, and place pork slices on top. Garnish with the squash-tomato-basil mixture and toasted pine nuts.
