Real Simple recipe - Pork tenderloin with cold lentil salad

Ingredients:

1 cup

green lentils, rinsed

kosher salt

black pepper

2 tbsp

balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp

brown sugar

3 tbsp

olive oil

1 1/4 lb

pork tenderloin

red apple, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

celery stalk, thinly sliced

1/4 cup

fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

2 tbsp

fresh lemon juice

Directions:

1.Heat oven to 400° F. Bring 4 cups water to a boil.
2.Add the lentils and 1 teaspoon salt and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
3.Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar.
4.Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
5.Transfer the pork to oven. Roast until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes, basting with the glaze twice during the last 5 minutes. Let rest before slicing.
6.In a medium bowl, toss cooked lentils with the apple, celery, parsley, lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve with the pork and any pan drippings.
