Recipe ingredients
- 2 (3/4 lb/375 g each) pork tenderloins, reserving 3 inches (8 cm) from narrowest end for another use
- 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) butter, divided
- 3 oz (90 g) Canadian Oka, cut into 12 thin slices
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 apples, cored, cut into 18 slices each
- 1 tsp. (5 mL) packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) apple cider
- 1/2 tsp. (2,5 mL) poultry seasoning
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) whipping (35%) cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh sprigs of thyme, optional
Preparation
Cut pork into 12 slices. Pound each slice between sheets of waxed paper until 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
In a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) butter. Cook pork 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Remove from pan to platter. Reserve pan juices.
Top each piece with Canadian Oka and place in a warm oven to melt cheese. Melt remaining 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) butter in same frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add apple slices and sugar to pan. Cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Remove from pan.
Add cider, poultry seasoning and any accumulated juices from the pork to the pan. Cook, stirring, over high heat until liquid is reduced by half. Return apples to pan. Pour in cream. Continue to cook and stir until cream is slightly thickened. Salt and pepper to taste. To serve, arrange cheese-topped meat on a bed of creamed apple slices. Garnish with thyme, if desired.
Suggestion
Replace pork with 1-1/4 lb (625 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin and cut into 12 pieces. Replace apples with Bosc pears and apple cider with pear nectar.* We recommend Selection and Irresistibles products.
