Cruise-Control Pork Tenderloin Recipe

From Manifold Destiny by Chris Maynard and Bill Schelle, for About.com

This pork roast is actually roasted on your car engine during a long trip, but you may also roast it in a traditional oven. The Dijon mustard, wine, and rosemary add flavor and help tenderize as well.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hours,

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup red onion, minced
  • 2 teaspoons rosemary, crushed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pork tenderloin, 1 to 1-1/2 pounds, butterflied

Preparation:

At home or on the road, blend the Dijon mustard, wine, red onion, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread the split surface of the pork tenderloin with the mixture and press lightly together, then wrap with foil. Find a medium-hot spot on the engine and turn once during cooking. Total cooking time should be about 4-1/2 hours.

Yield: 3 to 4 servings
