Chicken livers and pre-cooked bacon
Comments (13)Random Thoughts Thunk While Cooking: A cook is only as good as the ingredients and ingenuity used. What a nightmare. What a colossal nightmare. lol For the non-liver lovers, chicken would've been a good substitute, but did I get breasts or tenders. No. I got thighs because it reminded me of a dinner made by my Aunt Mary-on-the-farm when I was a child. I cleaned and cut for a very long time. The chicken livers were frozen, but, in the past, it's never been a problem. These things were just awful - all mashed up together (like someone took a meat pounder) to the point where I really had to hunt for the connective tissue. Just in case, going to a real butcher instead of taking a chance at the supermarket was supposed to not have this problem. Surprise. I can't even give him the benefit of the doubt and I tried. No self respecting cook would ever use this things in a sauce or a soup. I've cooked purchased, pre-cooked, bacon once before for BLTs but really didn't pay that much attention to it other than the fact it cooked quickly without grease everywhere. Last night, I really got a chance to eyeball it. When the box says to cook it til crispy, it really means to cook until dry. There's a difference. lol I didn't use it. So, prosciutto wouldn't be a good candidate for rumaki. Pancetta would, though. I didn't use pancetta because I wasn't quite sure how it would go with the marinade and other stuff I was making. So, I used a nice smoky bacon. More later. Nice photo array, Rob333!...See Morepork tenderloin: How to cook a pre-marinated one?
Comments (8)Hi linnea Here's the recipe Nancy posted, & a link to the What's For Dinner thread she posted in. Despite your tenderloin being pre-marinated, the cooking method would be the same. Island Pork Tenderloin (adapted from Gourmet Cookbook) For spice rub: 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp cinnamon 2 pork tenderloins (2 lbs total) trimmed 2 tbsp olive oil For Glaze: 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 tbsp finely chopped garlic 1 tbsp Tabasco Stir the spice rub ingredients together in a small bowl and rub all over the pork. Heat oil in ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet over medium high heat. Brown pork, turning occasionally, about 4-5 minutes total. Remove from heat, but leave pork in skillet. Stir together brown sugar, garlic and Tabasco in a small bowl. Pat the mixture on top of the pork. Place skillet in the oven at 350. Roast until thermometer inserted diagonally into the center of each tenderloin registers 140 degrees, about 20 minutes. Let pork stand in skillet, loosely covered with foil for 10 minutes.

Comments (4)Unless you like medium rare and no rarer than that you will have a hard time reheating a roast that large...unless you portion it out and reheat each portion. The link posted by Theresa doesn't seem to have info about reheating a whole roast, only individual servings. I would wrap closely....leave the au jus to be reheated separately and warm in a low oven...maybe until the center measures 100 with a instant read. That if you want to maintain some rare...make it perhaps 110 for medium...it will continue to cook after you remove it from the oven. It is already cooked and browned....you simply want to warm it to serving temp without drying it out. Heat the au jus and put a spoonful over any serving that may seem too cool rare. sounds lovely! I am for sure jealous! Linda C...See MoreHow to cook a pre-brined turkey?
