Fig and Blood Orange Glazed Pork Loin

Yum! Okay, so I have to say that this recipe is a sure keeper for me. And honestly, pretty easy to make!

FIG AND BLOOD ORANGE GLAZED PORK LOIN

Ingredients:
1 blood orange
1.5 T fig jam
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 pork loin
1/2 sweet onion, sliced
cooking oil
salt and pepper

Pound the pork loin to soften it up and make it thinner so it will cook faster. In a frying pan, add cooking oil, about 2 T, but you can add more later if needed. Heat at medium heat. Add salted and peppered (add liberally!) pork loin as well as onions. Juice the blood orange. Get a small cooking pot, add the orange juice, fig jam, and dijon mustard. Heat over low-medium heat and reduce to a glaze-like consistency. Turn pork loin as necessary so it does not burn, but cooks evenly on both sides. Every so often, add some of the glaze to the pork loin (maybe 1-2 tsps at a time). When the pork loin is cooked through, add remaining glaze to the pork and onions. Plate.

Servings: 1
Time to prep and cook: 15 min.


This recipe was very yummy and I will be keeping this one in the repertoire. Hope you enjoy it too!
