Serve with: Barley pilaf. Pork tenderloin is an extremely lean cut of meat with no waste. Coating the pork in ground porcini mushrooms gives it a delicious mushroom-flavoured crust.
These delicious bites come together with a luscious ricotta cream.
Freekeh is an ancient grain with a rich, smoky flavour—the result of the roasting process that it goes through prior to packaging. If you can't find it, try our quinoa varation (see below).
This stuffing works best with day-old bread, which doesn't shrink as much once the liquid is added. If you have a fresh loaf on hand, cut it into cubes and spread on a baking sheet, then toast in 350°F (180°C) oven until slightly crisp, about 10 minutes.
A "cheater" risotto made by covering with a lid during cooking takes less effort than the traditional stirred method but is still rich and creamy. Make the mix at home, then add fresh onion and Parmesan cheese at the campsite. If you like, add pieces of dried sausage or beef jerky with the last addition of water.
Easy and impressive, this makes a good side dish or vegetarian main dish for weekend entertaining.
