Harvest Brussels Sprouts Bowl with Pork Tenderloin is an easy weeknight meal, packed with flavor and nutrients, thanks to Farm Promise®.
We have all heard the phrase "pork is the other white meat". That may be true for some, but in our house, pork is the first option for white meat. I have always been a fan of pork, both as a chef and a consumer. This has been true in my adult life, but 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. I am not quite sure why that happened; maybe it was because industry standards were not like they are today.
Thanks to Farm Promise®, including pork in menu planning for our family is an easy choice. I know that Farm Promise® pork is always the highest quality, from local, multigenerational family farmers who care deeply about the welfare of their animals. Most importantly there are no growth promotants, hormones, or anitbiotics—ever.
This Harvest Brussels Sprouts Bowl with Pork Tenderloin is exactly the kind of meal I like to make for my family. It is hearty and full of texture, combining nutty farro with crunchy Brussels sprouts, and sweetness from the potatoes. This 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.
Today’s pork recipes are many and diverse. I believe pork is most delicious when it has a slight pink color, cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°. Not only are modern cooking styles more tender and delicious, but they also allow you to prepare a fantastic meal in a shorter amount of time. Thanks to Farm Promise®, better pork is within reach. It is a great option for our family.
