This flavorful mélange of pork, apricots and fresh fennel would be delicious served over instant or larger-grained couscous.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 fennel bulb (small, greens removed and cut into thin slices)
- 1 red onion (small, cut into 1/2-wide wedges)
- 1 1/4 cups chicken broth (canned low-sodium)
- 1/4 cup brandy (OR apple juice)
- 16 apricots (Metiterranean, dried)
- 3 tablespoons raisins
- 1 tablespoon dijon (style mustard)
Directions
