Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Pork Tenderloin
  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • 3 slices Super-Thick Bacon Cut into thin strips
  • 2 cloves Garlic Sliced
  • 1 medium Onion Thickly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme Chopped
  • 5 leaves Fresh Sage Chopped
  • 2 large Green Apple Like Granny Smith, cored and diced
  • 1/3 cup Apple Juice
  • Salt and Pepper To taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Rub the pork loin well with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large French oven (or other oven-safe pot with a lid). Brown the pork well on every side, turning from time to time.
  • Take the pot off the stove and cover it with a lid. Roast covered for 30-35 minutes.
  • Take the lid off and continue roasting the meat until it reaches an internal temperature of 145-150°F.
  • Remove the tenderloin from the French oven (no need to wash just yet!) and place it on a platter.
  • Cover the meat with aluminium foil and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • While the pork is resting, place the French oven over medium heat and cook the bacon until browned and crispy.
  • Add the garlic, onion, thyme and sage. Cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes or until the onion is no longer raw.
  • Add the diced apple and continue cooking until it’s softened and starting to brown.
  • Increase the heat to high and pour the apple juice over the compote. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom, season with salt and pepper and cook for another minute.
  • Serve immediately with the rested pork and your side of choice.
