Pork in a walnut sauceChristmas in Chile coincides with the beginning of summer. The atmosphere is usually relaxed because the vacations are near and the school year is over. Holiday meals can be effortless…. often for Christmas or New Year in my family rather than a formal dinner my grandmother, aunts, and mother set up a cold buffet: a collection of dishes with cold cuts, salads, rice or pasta salads, fruit, and sauces to be enjoyed during the afternoon and evening without rushing.
It is also very easy for guests or family members to contribute a dish that does not require heating upon arrival if you’ve never tried a cold buffet for the Holidays I recommend it. It takes a lot of pressure off the cook!

My recipe today, an adaptation of the traditional tongue Nogada, is the perfect example of a more elegant, but not complicated or difficult, dish. You can have it ready in less than 30 minutes. During the holidays, the vital part is to enjoy the company of family and friends.

For a juicy and delicious pork tenderloin follow these three key points: at the store look for a dark pink piece of meat like in the picture. Do not overcook your pork tenderloin: the perfect range is 145 -160F. Before cutting the meat let it stand for 5-10 minutes.

Pork in a walnut sauce

4 people
Ingredients:

  • 1 pork tenderloin
  • salt pepper
  • 4 slices of white bread, crust removed
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 cups finely chopped walnuts

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F or 200C.

  1. Soak bread in milk in a medium bowl.
  2. Clean the tenderloin removing the white membrane. Season well.
  3. In a large skillet over high-heat heat one tablespoon olive oil. Sear the loin on all four sides, 2 minutes per side.
  4. Place the seared meat on a baking sheet covered with foil and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature between 145-160F. Remove from the oven and let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
  5. In the meantime, prepare the sauce in the same pan where you seared the pork. To the still-hot pan, add the wine and scrape all the stuck bits.
  6. Reduce heat to low and add the bread with the milk and nuts. Mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning. If you want a smooth sauce, blend it.
  7. Serve the pork on top of the walnut sauce.
