Bring out the subtle, earthy flavor of pork tenderloin with dried fruits and apple juice. The port in the sauce adds extra sweetness that balances the kick of the kick of the Dijon mustard. Best of all, the pork cooks in about six minutes.
Gourmet meal that's on your table in 30 minutes. The result was this dish and it's superb. If you don't have fresh thyme, I'd suggest using 1/2 tsp dried in it's place. And if you cannot find Asiago cheese, Romano or Parmesan is a decent substitute.
