Roasted Pork Tenderloin Medallions W Dried Cranberry Sauce - 33.6g Carbs, 2.1g Fiber

From: Bruce Aidells, Cooking Light, MARCH 2005 When cooked to the right temperature, pork tenderloin is lean and juicy. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy, and serve it with a tangy-sweet sauce thickened with a spoonful of fruit jelly.

--Pork: 1 tsp dried sage 1 tsp dried thyme 3/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1 (1-lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed Cooking spray

--Sauce: 1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth 1 cup dried cranberries 1/2 cup cranberry juice cocktail (such as Ocean Spray) 1 Tbsp grape jelly

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

To prepare pork, combine first 4 ingredients; rub evenly over pork.

Heat a large oven-proof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork; cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Place pan in oven; cook pork at 400 degrees F for 12 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees F (slightly pink). Place pork on a cutting board; keep warm.

To prepare sauce, add the chicken broth, dried cranberries, and juice to pan; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in jelly; cook 8 minutes or until mixture is slightly thick, stirring occasionally. Cut the pork into (1/2-inch) slices. Serve with sauce.
