Pan-Roasted Pork Tenderloins with Apple, Sherry and Smoked Paprika
Our inspiration for a Spanish spin on pork and apples comes from “Tapas: A Taste of Spain in America” by José Andrés. Our version uses pork tenderloins that get a stovetop sear and finish in the oven on a bed of lightly sautéed onion and Granny Smith apple. The onion-apple mixture softens to a relish-like accompaniment that is accented with smoked paprika and dry sherry. It’s a rich, woodsy complement to slices of the mild, meaty tenderloin. You will need a 12-inch oven-safe skillet for this recipe.

Tip
Don’t forget to use an oven mitt or potholder when handling the skillet after removing it from the oven; the handle will be hot.

Adding Fennel
I am planning on fixing this for Christmas Day. Could Fennel be added in with the Onion and Apples?

Great dish. Use more onions and apples.
This was delicious. I doubled up on the apples and onion s, even though I only used one tenderloin. They’re so good, I shouldhave used even more. I should also have put in more liquid to reduce for sauce. I have to remember that on my stove, when a recipe says medium-high, I have to use medium or it’s too hot, and it has a tendency to scorch instead of browning.

Very tasty
I used this for inspiration and used up what was in the fridge. Used 3 leeks sliced lengthwise and then thinly sliced and 3 macoun apples. Didn’t have fresh thyme so I added a bit of dried. And I cut back on the oil and butter. We all loved it.

Good stuff
This was a tasty recipe and easy to make with pantry ingredients. Next time, I'll double the onion and apple as others have suggested. I brined the tenderloins, but next time, I may salt rub it as specified in the recipe.

After browning, is oil still left in the pan and butter added to it? Or should oil if leftover be wiped out with a paper towel? Thanks and this sounds great.
