As part of my ongoing partnership with Heinen’s. they have asked me for honest reviews of some of their prepared dishes from time to time. Last night, I tried pork tenderloin stuffed with chopped fennel, thyme and apricots then lined with bacon ($10). There was actually a lot to choose from, from steaks to other stuffed tenderloins, stuffed chops, kabobs, etc. But this one caught my eye. The butcher told me it was local pork and just assembled that morning.
The tenderloin was plenty for the three of us to share, and I even have leftovers for lunch today. Overall, the taste was enjoyable. I loved all the fresh thyme and fennel and especially liked the apricots with bacon. But the pork itself could have used some
seasoning. If you try this, I’d suggest seasoning the pork with kosher salt and pepper first; it needs it.
In general, I’m not one to pick up prepared food. If I’m not dining out, I really enjoy cooking at home. And something like this would take no time to create myself. But, there are those days when you just don’t feel like cooking – or eating out. This is a nice alternative. And I’d have no reservations about picking up this pork again – though I would be sure to properly season next time.
Does anyone have their tomato bisque soup recipe?
