Inspired by the Douro region of Portugal, this pork loin slow cooks with prunes, port and chicken broth to yield a delicious and smooth gravy.
You can adjust from vegetarian to meaty by adding up to 8 oz (225 g) dry chorizo sausage or a piece of lean smoky bacon or smoked turkey thigh.
The flavours of tart mustard and sweet apple combine into the perfect brushing sauce for the fish. Serve with a crunchy, fresh green-bean salad and seasoned grilled potato slices.
When I entertain I like to be well prepared before the guests arrive. This recipe is great for a dinner party because most of it can be prepared in advance. This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled and is very versatile. The wine gives it a 'chef' prepared flavor!!
Zesty, sweet-sour sauce slathered on pork ribs makes a fantastic fall entrée.
