Pork Marbella

Marbella, typically made with chicken is very good with pork too. I’m using sliced tenderloin but you can also use chops. This recipe is adapted from Bon Appetit

Pork Marbella

Ingredients:
  1. 2 lb. pork tenderloin – ½ to ¾ in. slices
  2. Salt and pepper
  3. 1 cup dry white wine

  5. ½ cup green olives, pitted
  6. ½ cup brown sugar
  7. ½ cup capers
  8. ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  9. 4 smashed garlic cloves
  10. ¼ cup olive oil plus more for frying
  11. 1 tbsp. butter

Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the marinade, including the olives and prunes. Place on the middle rack in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, turning the pork after 10 minutes. Finish with the pan under the broiler for 5 more minutes.
Place the pork, olives and prunes in a serving dish. Discard the garlic. With the pan on medium heat on top of the stove, whisk in the butter and parsley and stir for a few minutes while the butter melts and the sauce thickens. Pour the sauce over the pork, olives, and prunes and serve.Pork Marbella
