Tonya Morrison of Lewis Center, Ohio, writes: "My husband and I had a wonderful time on our vacation to Kiawah Island, South Carolina. One night we had dinner at Rosebank Farms Café in Bohicket Marina Village. The recipe for their roast pork tenderloin with apple and raisin chutney would make a delicious souvenir."

In this imaginative main course, the chutney adds a sweet, tart contrast to the herb-roasted pork and the rich, creamy corn.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

Pork

1 bunch fresh mint leaves, chopped (about 2/3 cup)
5 garlic cloves
3 fresh rosemary sprigs
2 shallots
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
3/4 cup olive oil
2 12- to 14-ounce pork tenderloins, trimmed

Creamed corn

6 cups fresh corn kernels or frozen, thawed
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
2 cups whipping cream

Preparation

  1. For pork:

    Step 1

    Combine first 6 ingredients in processor and chop finely. Blend in oil. Transfer marinade to glass baking dish. Add pork tenderloins to marinade, turning to coat. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)

  2. Meanwhile, prepare creamed corn:

    Step 2

    Cook 1 cup corn kernels in heavy medium pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain well and set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add flour and stir 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in chicken broth; whisk until mixture thickens and boils. Stir in cream. Bring mixture to simmer. Add remaining 5 cups corn kernels and simmer until mixture is thick, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly. Transfer to processor and coarsely puree. Stir in 1 cup cooked corn kernels. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Chill.)

    Step 3

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade. Add pork to skillet and sauté until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and roast pork until a meat thermometer inserted into center registers 180°F, about 10 minutes.

    Step 4

    Bring corn to simmer. Spoon corn onto plates, dividing equally. Slice pork tenderloins and place atop corn, dividing equally. Top with Apple-Raisin Chutney and serve.
