So after a trip to the Decatur Farmers Market I had to create a dinner menu that incorporated some awesome finds. On the menu was Pork Tenderloin, roasted okra, and a side salad with fresh tomatoes and red onion. Here is what I was working with:
So the pork tenderloin I marinated in a little oil and a dry rub that I made with whatever I had in the cabinet, but it had brown sugar, cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and fresh cracked pepper.
I have always loved roasted vegetables and have done okra a couple of times, so when I saw it at the market I thought that it would be awesome to roast it for dinner. I did a rough chop on the okra an roasted it with olive oil, salt, and fresh cracked pepper as well.
Everything was finally brought together once I had sliced the tomtatoes and onion and incorporated it into a salad. The whole meal only took me about 45 minutes to do and everything was done once the meat was done cooking in the oven. I am a big believer that presentation is key to food tasting better since we eat with our eyes first. So here was the final product:
I have leftover pork tenderloin which I will incorporate into a meal later on this week and also stay tuned for breakfast tomorrow morning. I am also including a picture of lunch today which incorporated my left over chicken and vegetables from the night before. I try to keep meals simple, healthy, and try not to incorporate too many over the top techniques. I look forward to the comments and feed back so please leave comments on what you think. Thanks for reading and I hope you come back again.
Again, a special thanks to Ivabell Acres for allowing me to purchase the okra, tomatoes, and red onion for my dishes today.
