Equipment

  • - Kitchen Knife: Essential for cutting meat, vegetables, and preparing ingredients accurately and safely.

  • - Meat Thermometer: Accurate temperature reading ensures pork tenderloin reaches safe internal temperatures without overcooking.

  • - Non-Stick Skillet: Reduces sticking during cooking; suitable for browning meat or sautéing vegetables in the recipe.

  • - Baking Dish: Used if the preparation involves baking, such as roasting pork tenderloin with apricot glaze.

  • - Mandoline Slicer (Optional): For precise cutting of ingredients like garnishes or for evenly sized vegetables in the recipe; not all steps require this.

  • - Digital Scale: Ensures accurate measurements for ingredients, though many cooking processes do not strictly require it.

  • - Blender (Optional): If making apricot mustard sauce from scratch requires blending or pureeing, a food processor could be more practical than a dedicated blender.

  • - Small Prep Bowl: Useful for mixing ingredients, marinades, or assembling components of the dish before cooking.

  • - Cutting Board: Essential for safely and hygienically preparing all food items involved in the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup grainy mustard

  • 1/2 cup apricot jam

Instruction 4

Toss apricots and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper with remaining mustard-garlic mixture. Arrange apricots in 1 layer around pork (including space between tenderloins) and broil 5 to 6 inches from heat, turning pork over once, until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of each tenderloin registers 145°F and apricots are softened, about 15 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board (leave apricots on pan) and let stand 5 minutes.

Instruction 5

Cut pork crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and transfer to a platter. Spoon apricots over pork and serve remaining mustard-jam mixture on the side (sweeten with additional jam if desired).
