Pork Tenderloin with Mustard and White Wine
Pasta with Green Garlic
Broccoli Gratin

Cooking time:   35 minutes for menu           Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

       Pork tenderloin is great for mid-week meals: it cooks quickly when sliced, yet stays tender and moist. The broccoli is steamed first, then baked just long enough to brown the top.

Pork Tenderloin with Mustard and White Wine Sauce

Total time: 35 minutes
     Pork and mustard go well together. It makes a lovely, quick, mid-week dinner, yet 'gourmet' enough for unexpected guests! If the tenderloin has a lot of ‘silver’, trim it with a sharp knife before slicing.
