Harvest Brussels Sprouts Bowl with Pork Tenderloin
This Harvest Brussels Sprouts Bowl is one of my favorite weeknight dinners to make for my family. Like our Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies, it's hearty mix of flavor and texture. We combine nutty farro, crunchy Brussels sprouts, hearty sweet potatoes, and tender, roasted pork loin . It all comes together with a tangy, savory dressing. I think it tastes best when the salad is mixed together when served. The warm dressing clings to the greens, while the pork soaks up its flavor, creating the perfect bite.
We grew up with the phrase "pork: other white meat". But I have always been a fan of pork, both as a chef and a consumer. I live for Boneless Pork Chops, Pulled Pork Sandwiches, and even Pulled Pork Nachos. However, as a kid I remember my mom (as most home cooks) was programmed to cook pork so long that it was always dry and tough. When cooked properly, Farm Promise® pork loin is tender and juicy every time. Best of all I feel good about serving it to my family because there are no growth promotants, hormones, or anitbiotics—ever.
