POLISH PORK TENDERLOIN IN APPLE-ONION SAUCE & SAUERKRAUT
Made this for Easter with fresh pork from a local farm. ABSOLUTELY delicious and tender. Very unfussy, great for everyday. I use Polish Grill Seasoning but you can use any seasoning or make your own with any combo such as 1 tsp. each of marjoram, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Trim all silver skin from tenderloins; pat dry using paper towels. Rub 1 teaspoon vegetable oil over the surface of each tenderloin and rub with sea salt.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute. Place tenderloins into the skillet and cook, rotating to brown all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer pork to a large plate.
- Add remaining tablespoon oil to any drippings in the skillet. Cook apples and onions in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to turn translucent, about 5 minutes, adding a bit more oil if skillet gets dry.
- Meanwhile, spread Dijon mustard evenly over browned tenderloins using a pastry brush. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons thyme leaves over pork. Sprinkle remaining thyme over apple mixture and add black pepper; stir gently to combine. Nestle tenderloins into the skillet with apple mixture.
- Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloins reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
- Remove skillet from the oven and place pork onto a plate. Cover with aluminum foil and let rest.
- Meanwhile, pour chicken stock into a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by 1/2, 8 to 10 minutes. Add to the skillet containing apple mixture.
- Heat over medium-high heat until boiling, about 5 minutes; stir in butter until melted. Slice pork and serve over apple mixture.

PORK CHOPS WITH SAUERKRAUT AND APPLE
This is a great recipe for people who think they don't like sauerkraut, as it's very mild and sweet prepared this way. I never would have thought of using wine in a sauerkraut dish, but it's great. Source lost in the mists of time.

Steps:
- Salt and pepper the chops and brown them in hot oil or butter, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
- Add the apple and onions to the same skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion starts to look golden.
- Add the wine and stir, scraping up all the browned bits, and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Stir in the sauerkraut, and place the chops on top, including any juices that have collected. Cover the skillet, lower the heat and cook until the chops are done, about 7 minutes, depending on thickness. Do not overcook.
- Note1: I've also made this successfully with chardonnay, but riesling is the best.
- Note2: Sauerkraut packed in plastic bags and sold in the refrigerator case tastes much better than the canned.

Steps:
- Season the pieces of pork on both sides with one teaspoon of the pepper and the thyme.
- Heat the oil until very hot in a nonstick skillet set over high heat. Add the pork to the pan and cook for two to three minutes on each side. Remove the meat from the pan and keep it warm. Add the onion to the pan and saute for about three minutes, until it is softened.
- In a bowl, mix together the vinegar, water, sugar and cumin or caraway seeds and add to the pan along with the apples, salt and remaining half-teaspoon of pepper. Cover and boil gently for four to five minutes, until the liquid has almost evaporated and the apples are moist and tender. Return the pork steaks and any accumulated juices to the pan and reheat for one to two minutes.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to slice the pork tenderloin against the grain for more tender results.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the pork. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly.
- Cook the pork tenderloin over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides. This will help to seal in the juices.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the pork tenderloin until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
This Polish pork tenderloin recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and juicy, and the apple-onion sauce is flavorful and tangy.
