The weather man says 8-10 inches of snow today...
Surely something tasty is in order.

As many of you already know, the Clever Girls around here are a multi-talented bunch.

Michelle is our true foodie and most sophisticated epicurean (she got us all started watching Top Chef) and she has a great roster of fabulous recipes--super tasty with a gourmet twist. Case in point: her Pork Tenderloin with Mustard Sauce. For a snowy supper this week, consider this tasty dish, and be sure to make enough for left-overs the next night...

Pork Tenderloin with Mustard Sauce
Serves: 8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour

Ingredients
1/3 cup white wine
1/3 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 lb. pork tenderloin
Mustard Sauce
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
1 1/2 tablespoons mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sliced green onion

Directions:
Combine wine, soy sauce and brown sugar in a large, resealable plastic bag. Place tenderloin in bag and refrigerate overnight.

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard powder, garlic powder and mix well. Refrigerate overnight and keep chilled until ready to serve.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place meat and marinade in a shallow baking dish and roast for one hour, basting occasionally. Temperature of meat should register 160 degrees F. Let meat rest for a few minutes, then cut into 1/2 inch thick slices. Serve with mustard sauce and sprinkle with the sliced green onion.
