Fennel-Rubbed Pork With Shallot-Pomegranate Reduction
- Sauce:
- 1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup chopped shallots
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4 teaspoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pork:
- 3/4 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Preheat oven to 450u0b0.
- To prepare sauce, combine first 4 ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 18 minutes). Remove from heat. Gradually add butter; stir with a whisk until blended. Stir in vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- To prepare pork, while sauce reduces, combine fennel seeds, garlic powder, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper; rub over pork. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Place skillet in oven. Bake at 450u0b0 for 18 minutes or until a thermometer registers 155u0b0 (slightly pink). Let stand 5 minutes; cut into 1/4-inch slices. Serve with sauce.
