Pork tenderloin with spinach and cannelini beans

No comments

Beans are a terrific low fat alternative to mash and go really well with some lovely tender pork tenderloin. Pork tenderloin is virtually fat free and cooks really quickly. The spinach adds flavour and colour, and as popeye would agree, is really good for you.

Ingredients

1kg pork tenderloin, sliced into 2cm medallions
2 tins Cannelini beans
1 bag spinach
1 red onion thinly sliced
Juice of half a lemon.

Serves: 4 Preparation: 5 Cook Time: 10 Total Time: 15min

Fry the tenderloin in a small amount of oil over a medium high heat for about four minutes on each side or until cooked through. Pork should never be served pink.
While they are frying, wilt the spinach in a pan with a little water, add the drained beans and onions, and heat through. You don’t want to completely cook the onions, you just want to take the bite out of them. Add the lemon juice.
Season and serve the pork on top of the bean spinach and onions.
