Mad Zoo House

I haven't been cooking with any kind of regularity the last few months, as opposed to the Candace of the Past that would plan the Zoo House meals up to a month in advance and cook a "real" dinner almost every night. But last night I made an old favorite from early on in our marriage:

Pork with Savory Sauce

Source: American Heart Association (Servings: 4)

Sauce:
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon port
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ teaspoon coarse black pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 clove garlic , or 1/2 tsp minced
2 tablespoon cold water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 pound pork tenderloin

In a small saucepan, combine broth, vinegar, wine, oil, pepper, oregano and garlic. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat for 20 minutes or until liquid is reduced to ½ cup.
Pour water into a cup or small bowl. Add cornstarch and stir to dissolve.
Add cornstarch mixture to the sauce, stirring to mix well. Heat over medium heat, stirring until mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Cover, remove from heat and set aside.
Grill pork until no longer pink. Serve with sauce.


Yum. You can trust the American Heart Association, friends. They will not steer you wrong!
