Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces whole onion or 11 ounces chopped, ready-cut onion (2 1/4 cups)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 large cloves garlic
4 ounces peeled carrots or 4 ounces sliced, ready-cut carrots (1 cup)
4 ounces assorted wild or plain white mushrooms
8 ounces pork tenderloin
Enough fresh rosemary to yield 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves or 1 teaspoon dried
1 cup dry red wine
2 1/4 cups no-salt-added chicken stock
1/2 cup fine-grain polenta or instant polenta
1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano ( 1/3 cup coarsely grated), optional
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Chop whole onion.
  • Heat large nonstick pan until it is very hot; reduce heat to medium-high, and add oil. Saute onion in the oil until it begins to soften.
  • Meanwhile, mince garlic, and add to onion as it cooks.
  • Slice carrots in food processor, and add to onion as it cooks. Wash, dry and slice mushrooms in food processor, and add to vegetables.
  • Wash, dry and cut tenderloin into bite-size chunks. When vegetables have softened, push to the side, and brown meat quickly all over.
  • Strip rosemary branches of leaves to make 1 tablespoon; bring wine, stock and rosemary to boil in covered pot for polenta.
  • Mix the browned meat in with the vegetables, and continue cooking over low heat.
  • Slowly stir polenta into boiling stock to prevent lumping; reduce heat to medium-high, and continue stirring polenta until it thickens.
  • Grate cheese, if using, and stir into polenta.
  • Season pork mixture with salt and pepper, and serve over polenta.
