Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
2poundsPork tenderloin
2Peppers seeded and stemmed
1Yellow onion,peeled & halved
2tablespoonsPeanut oil
5Sprigs parsley
1tablespoonVegetable oil
1tablespoonButter
2cupsCooked white rice
Salt and pepper
2cupsSalsa Rojo, heated
1cupSour cream

Directions

1. Trim the pork. Pound with a meat hammer to tenderize. Slice into thin strips.

2. Cut the pepper into wedges so that it fits into the feed tube of the food processor. Use the standard slicing blade. Pack the pepper wedges and the bottom of the pepper horizontally into the feed tube, and process.

3. Place the onion cut side down, and slice by hand into thin strips (you want the strips of pork, chile, and onion of roughly the same size).

4. Coat the bottom of a griddle with the peanut oil. Grill the pork, peppers and onions over high heat until the meat is browned on all sides (add more oil if needed). 5. Use the metal blade of the food processor to mince the parsley.

Melt the butter and vegetable oil in a 10-12 inch skillet. Toss in the parsley and rice. Season with salt and pepper.

6. Place the rice on a warmed serving dish, and spoon the meat mixture over. Top with warm Salsa Rojo. Source: Joel Erlich KookNet Typed in MM for you by Linda Fields, Cyberealm BBS and home of Kook-Net Watertown, NY 315-786-1120
