mentioned an idea for a cooking show, i think ~~Cooks Only~~ (then i was told it’s Only Cooks, a parody of you-know-what) is the suggested name. Here i present a submission for the show.

Christopher Cook

was in the discussion as well.

Organic, grass-fed Pork Tenderloin, with black peppercorns and fresh garlic, pink Himalayan salt, and Hungarian paprika (acquired from my trip to Budapest) are the rub. The marinade is a splash of water from my copper pitcher, apple cider vinegar, avocado oil and maple syrup from

Full Armor Farm

. After oven-cooking in a covered dish, I finished the tenderloin in a broil with a small topping of local honey.

The side dish is brown rice with quinoa, full disclosure, i used a cheater package here. It’s simmered with a lot of local butter, three teaspoon scoops of salsa verde (also cheater), and a couple heaping handfuls of local grown mushrooms. Added a dash of pink Himalayan salt as well.

I acknowledge the mix of flavors between the pork and side dish are not generally harmonious, but sometimes i just wing it and go with what i got.

Feast your eyes and your soul!
