INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- chopped pecans – not a fan pf pecans or nuts? Simply depart it out.

It simply elevates the flavour that you simply simply don’t get with dried herbs (in addition to, if you happen to’re going by all the difficulty, why not make the recipe precisely how it’s written, proper?) – don’t skimp on taste that may take it excessive. You need to use dried thyme if you happen to should however I feel you’d actually be lacking out.

- salt and pepper
- pork tenderloin – I bought the pack that has two pork tenderloins in it. You may actually make this with just one pork tenderloin, simply lower it in half.

And I do know mustard would possibly sound somewhat odd nevertheless it simply goes so properly with pork.
- mayonnaise
- bitter cream – you possibly can substitute with plain Greek yogurt if you happen to want one thing to make use of as an alternative of bitter cream. For those who actually don’t love bitter cream, or Greek yogurt, I guess you in all probability have already got a substitute that you simply use normally. You might attempt Creme fraiche which could even work nevertheless it tends to be somewhat thinner in texture.
- apple cider vinegar
- honey
- garlic powder
