Servings: 4


"Stuff a juicy pork tenderloin with a heady compound of mustard, garlic and olives, then let it marinate overnight. Grill it or oven-roast it with mushrooms, onion and red peppers."
Ingredients:
3 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
2 cloves garlic, minced
15 oil-cured black olives, pitted
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
salt and pepper to taste 1 red bell pepper, halved and deseeded
4 fresh mushrooms
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon browning sauce

Directions:
1. Slice the pork tenderloin open the long way. Spread the mustard, minced garlic and chopped olives in the roast. Sprinkle with salt and pepper all-over, to taste. Tie the loin at 1-inch intervals to shape evenly into a roll. Refrigerate and marinate loin for 24 hours.
2. To Grill: Prepare grill for high heat.
3. Using a generous amount of heavy duty foil, lay the slice red pepper on the bottom. Put the marinated tenderloin on top. Paint the loin with browning sauce and place the onion slices and mushrooms on top. Seal the foil making a little tent on top.
4. Grill the roast for about 30 minutes or until it has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let sit for 10 minutes before carving.
5. To Bake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
6. Lay the slice red pepper on the bottom of a roasting pan. Put the marinated tenderloin on top. Paint the loin with browning sauce and place the onion slices and mushrooms on top. Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until and internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) is reached. Let sit for 10 minutes before carving

Green Bean Salad
Last time we made this we absolutely loved it so we most definitely had to try it again!
Ingredients
•3 Tbs. red wine vinegar
•3 Tbs. grated Parmesan cheese
•2 tsp. Dijon mustard
•2 cloves minced fresh garlic
•1/2 tsp. salt
•1/4 tsp. black pepper
•3 Tbs. olive oil
•2 lbs. fresh green beans, ends trimmed
•1 1/2 C. grape tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
•1 C. thinly sliced red onion
•1/2 C. toasted walnuts, chopped
Directions

Begin by making the dressing by combining the red wine vinegar, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, minced fresh garlic, salt and pepper, in a large bowl. Whisk to combine, then whisk in olive oil until well blended. Set aside. Meanwhile bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add green beans and cook approximately 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and quickly plunge beans into a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well, then add to the bowl with the dressing. Stir in tomatoes, red onion and toasted chopped walnuts. Toss well to coat and transfer to a serving bowl or travelling container. Can be served warm or at room temperature.
