Dijon-Herb Pork Roast

In this Dijon-herb pork roast recipe, pork tenderloins are rubbed with fresh herbs and pan-seared, then roasted until tender.  A glaze made from sweet-tart red currant jelly and Dijon mustard adds another layer of flavor and is also stirred into a sauce to be served with the pork.  Sounds fancy, tastes delicious- but it's really simple to make- give it a try!

Ingredients

3 pounds boneless pork tenderloin (2 tenderloins)
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley or 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crushed
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
0.5 cup red currant jelly or apple jelly
0.25 cup Dijon-style mustard
1 cup Swanson® Chicken Stock
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

Heat the oven to 400°F.  While the oven is heating, season the pork as desired.  Rub the pork with the parsley, rosemary and thyme.
Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the pork and cook until well browned on all sides.  Remove the pork to a roasting pan.
Stir the jelly and mustard in a small bowl. Brush 3 tablespoons jelly mixture on the pork.
Roast the pork for 25 minutes or until cooked through.  Remove from the oven, cover and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
While the pork is roasting, add the stock to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat to a boil, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.  Stir in the remaining jelly mixture and the cornstarch and cook until the mixture boils and thickens.  Stir in additional fresh parsley (2 tablespoons), if desired.  Serve with the pork.
