Pork Tenderloin with Wine Sauce and Baked Tomatoes and Eggplant


I went to the butcher today to find some meat to prepare for dinner. They had a whole Pork Roast on sale for $1.99 lb. The only catch was I had to buy like 6 lbs of it! I talked to the butcher about it and he ended up giving me a smaller 2 lb pork tenderloin for free as a "sample"! So that is what we had for dinner.

My Nana gave me a recipe when Matt and I got married for Beef with Wine Sauce. I use it very often but I decided to change it up and make Pork Tenderloin with Wine Sauce. I just plop it in the crock pot and pour a packet of onion soup mix and 1 cup of red wine over it. Then set it and forget it for 3 hours on Low heat. It's perfect every time. The meat always comes out so moist and juicy, you don't even need a knife to cut it! On the side I just sliced up an eggplant and halved some plum tomatoes. I studded the tomatoes with some garlic and tossed some olives in there. Then I drizzled it with a little Olive Oil, salt and pepper and baked it for 30 minutes. It was perfect and so easy.
