Only 2 tablespoon added fat (olive oil) but it's a dinner you'd be proud to serve at any special occasion. Fun to cook: Put 2 large skillets and a large saucepan on top of the stove - make lentils first, start the pork, then the sauce.
Servings: 8

Cider Lentils:
-
1 lb. tiny black lentils
-
1 1/2 cups water
-
1 1/2 cups apple cider
-
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon (paste)
-
3 whole cloves
-
2 bay leaves
-
1 small onion, minced
-
salt and pepper
-
Pork Tenderloins:
-
3 lbs. pork tenderloins
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
4 or 5 large shallots, peeled and halved
-
Apple Sauce:
-
1 1/2 cups apple cider
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon
-
3 green apples, peeled and sliced in 1/2" wedges
-
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
-
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
-
3/4 cup dry white wine
-
3 cups chicken stock or broth
-
zest of 1 orange
-
1 teaspoon arrowroot

Cider Lentils: Combine all ingredients (except salt and pepper) in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 40-45 min. till liquid has been absorbed. Salt and pepper to taste - remove bay leaves.
-
Pork Tenderloins: Pat pork dry, salt and pepper. In a large skillet over high heat, brown meat and shallots well on all sides. Cook until instant-read thermometer registers 150 degrees in thickest part. Remove to serving plate, cover with foil and let sit 10 minutes before carving. (Save pan for finishing sauce.)
-
Apple Sauce: Put 3/4 cup cider, cinnamon and apples in large skillet, simmer 2-3 minutes till apples are just soft, remove them from pan and set aside. Add in rest of cider. Remove browned shallots from pork in pan; chop and add to cider with ginger, sage, and wine. Boil 4 minutes. Add chicken stock, boil and reduce by half. Add zest, whisk in arrowroot. Pour off fat from pork in pan; pour sauce into pan and scrape up any bits of meat - add in apples and reheat. Slice pork, arrange on plates with lentils, spoon sauce over pork and enjoy.
