Sesame Pork Appetizers
Source of Recipe
Smithfield Lean Generation Pork
List of Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup sesame seeds
Spinach leaves
Dipping sauce:
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1 green onion, finely chopped
Recipe
In a dish large enough to hold the tenderloin, combine the sherry and soy sauce. Add the pork. Let marinate 1 to 2 hours. (We used a large zipper bag and marinated it for 8 hours with no adverse effects.) Remove the tenderloin. (Dry it well so the honey sticks.) Spread honey on a plate. Roll the pork in honey, then in sesame seeds. Place the tenderloin in a roaster pan; roast at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 150 degrees. Let stand 5 minutes, then slice thinly on the diagonal.
Combine all remaining ingredients for dipping sauce. Place in a bowl in the center of serving platter. Surround the bowl with the spinach leaves. Arrange pork slices on top.
YIELD: Makes 6 servings.
Mix dipping sauce and serve with tenderloin.
