Pork Tenderloin with Tomatoes and Olives

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin (whole, trimmed)
  • 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, heavily minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp corn starch or flour (I used flour)
Combine tomatoes, olives, wine, herbs, garlic.
Pre-heat oven to 400F.
Add oil in the casserole on medium heat. 
Salt and pepper the pork. Brown all sides (5 minutes each).
Add tomato mixture and bake for 20-30 minutes.
Remove pork from the casserole and keep warm.
Heat the casserole, add broth and thickener. 
Bring to a boil then reduce heat.
Simmer for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice the pork.
Serve the sauce over the pork.
