Pork tenderloin with blue cheese and dried cherry salsa. I have saved this recipe for the last, I am not kidding, four years. 

Finally, I decided to give it a try. I am glad I did.

Because of the complexity of the original recipe, I had to make a lot of changes to it. First, I had to simplify it and not be too overwhelmed.

Pork Tenderloin with Blue Cheese and Dried Cherry Salsa

As a result, it was great, and will prepare this dish again.

Make extra sauce if you can, as it is delicious for lunch with a beef sandwich.

Pork tenderloin is tender meat however, make sure you trim the fat and the outer film and ligaments.

This will ensure that every bite is tender and not tough. 

If you want to speed up the marinating process, pick the meat with a fork before adding it to the marinate.

The wine and oil will penetrate deeper. 

Finishing up the cooking process in the oven will not only keep the juices internally but will finish the cooping process evenly.

If you can prepare more sauce, and can be done the night before. Omit the blue cheese until ready to eat.

To go alongside, I prepared some Basmati rice cooked in salted water.
