How Ina's Herbed Pork Tenderloins with Apple Chutney Saved The Day

Herbed Pork Tenderloins with Apple Chutney
Entertaining during the holidays can sometimes seem like a daunting task. Especially when you are not well acquainted with your guests. This very scenario happened to me recently. After spending an abnormal amount of time trying to come up with a celebratory menu for a relative that I had not seen since we were kids; and after verifying there were no food intolerance or foods they simply did not like to eat I was stumped. I even started to dread the “mess” I got myself into. I was looking for something I could make ahead and something tried and true. Those words kept playing over and over in my head until I remembered an Ina Garten cookbook that I had received as a gift a few years back. It was then that this meal fell into place. “Make it Ahead”, a Barefoot Contessa cookbook with all of its tried and true recipes saved the day.


My husband prepared and cooked the pork and I made the apple chutney, which is fabulous by the way! The pork is seasoned with rosemary and thyme and then wrapped in prosciutto. We served crisp tender green beans and mash potatoes as sides. The pork was tender, moist and full of flavor and the chutney was the perfect accompaniment. Since we made Ina’s recipes exactly as they were written, I decided to link back to Ina Garten’s website instead. Click here.

Happy Holidays!

  8. Pork takes so well to different seasonings and flavors -- it's definitely not a blank canvas in terms of flavor, but you can take it so many different ways. The chutney sounds wonderful. And I'll never say no to rosemary! Love its flavor. :-)
