Apple Sauce and Cider Lentils

Recipe from: Girlfriends Forever
by Susan Branch
Cookbook Heaven at Recipelink.com

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

  • salt and pepper

  1. 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.

  2. 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.)

  3. 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.
