SESAME PORK ROAST W/ MUSTARD CREAM

Sesame Pork Roast With Mustard Cream

Prep Time: 25 mins

Cook Time: 25 mins

Total Time: 50 mins

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup(s) chili sauce
• 2 slice(s) teriyaki sauce, reduced-sodium
• 2 small ginger, fresh, or 1/4 teaspoon ground
• 2 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 2 sprig(s) pork, tenderloin, 12 to 16 ounces each
• 2 small sesame seeds
• 1/4 cup(s) sour cream, light or fat-free
• 1 sprig(s) scallion(s) (green onions), finely chopped
• 1 small mustard, dijon-style
• teaspoon salt
• 3 cup(s) spinach, baby

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. For basting sauce, in a small bowl, stir together chili sauce, teriyaki sauce, ginger, and garlic.

2. Place pork tenderloins on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Brush some of the basting sauce over tenderloins. Roast for 15 minutes. Brush tenderloins with additional basting sauce (discard any remaining sauce); sprinkle tenderloins with sesame seeds. Roast for 10 to 20 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of each tenderloin registers 160°F.

3. Meanwhile, for mustard sauce, in a small bowl, stir together sour cream, the finely chopped green onion, mustard, and salt. If desired, sprinkle with green onion tops.

4. To serve, place spinach on a serving platter. Slice 1 of the tenderloins (cover and chill remaining tenderloin for another meal); arrange sliced tenderloin on top of the spinach. Serve with all of the mustard sauce.
