Ingredients

 

1 pork tenderloin, approx 1 lb., seasoned to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1-2 Tbs. olive oil 

Cran-Apple Mixture 

1/4 cup white wine

1/3 cup dried cranberries 

2 apples, skin-on, cored and cut into 1/2” cubes 

Sauerkraut Skillet 

8 strips center-cut bacon, chopped

2 cups sliced leeks (white portion only)

1 medium or 2 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2” cubes 

2 cups Hoganville Family Farms sauerkraut, drained

1/2 cup white wine 

1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar

1 tsp. caraway seeds

In a medium bowl, place the dried cranberries with 1/4 cup white wine; cook in the microwave for 1 minute on full power to let the cranberries plump in the wine; remove from the microwave and stir in the chopped apples; reserve. 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 

In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, add 1-2 Tbs. olive oil; when the oil is hot, add the seasoned pork tenderloin to the skillet, browning nicely on all sides. Remove the pork tenderloin to a platter and reserve. 

In the same skillet, cook the chopped bacon with the leeks over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until the bacon is browned and beginning to crisp, stirring occasionally. Stir the sweet potato cubes into this mixture during the last 5 minutes of cooking time. 

Add the reserved cranberry/apple mixture, sauerkraut, 1/2 cup white wine, brown sugar, and caraway seeds to the bacon/sweet potato mixture in the skillet; gently toss to combine. 

Make a shallow well in the center of the sauerkraut mixture, placing the seared pork tenderloin there. 

Place the skillet into the preheated oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork tenderloin is 140-145 degrees F. at the center when tested with an instant-read meat thermometer, and the sweet potatoes are fully tender. 

Remove the skillet from the oven and tent loosely with foil to rest for 5-10 minutes. 

Place the pork tenderloin onto a cutting board, slicing it into medallions. To serve, place a bed of the sauerkraut mixture onto serving plates, then top with pork medallions. Enjoy!
