Carnage du Jour - 04 April 2020

 Micah 6:8
Genesis 9:2-4
Yes, your life matters.


I know you'll be surprised, but I'm writing about another pork tenderloin dish today.

This time it was trimmed, sliced into medallions, and seasoned with beau monde, white pepper, nutmeg, and Aleppo pepper. Then it was simply sautéed in some canola oil and served with a pot of spinach and ricotta ravioli dressed with a pesto alfredo sauce and a bunch of extra chopped spinach.

The Aleppo added a nice light smoky heat to the background flavours, and I was pleased and a bit surprised at how well pesto and spinach went together. I don't know that I would have thought to put basil and spinach together if I hadn't had this sauce in the fridge waiting to be used up. It was quite tasty, and I'll probably do something similar again. Who knows? Perhaps I'll cook some basil leaves in with some spinach, just to see whether that actually works, or if the creaminess of the sauce mellowed everything out so much that it all almost had to go together.

Regardless, it was very tasty and, again, likely to be repeated.

Enjoy!
