Lemon/Garlic Pork Tenderloin image

A Greek(ish) dish. The pork turned out very tender, which always makes me happy -- pork is so lean these days, it's hard to find a recipe that leaves it tender. A 4-oz. serving is 4 Weight Watchers points.

Time P1DT2h30m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lbs pork tenderloin
6 -10 garlic cloves (peeled, whole)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano (fresh, chopped)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (fresh)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme (fresh, chopped)
1 cup water

Steps:

  • With a sharp knife, make slits or pockets in the pork loin -- one for every whole garlic clove you're going to use. Insert the whole cloves and bit of fresh oregano into each slit. Set aside.
  • In medium bowl, combine oil, wine, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Pour over pork loin and refrigerate 6-24 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350. Place pork in a baking pan and add 1 cup water. Bake for 1-1/2 hours, or until pork is tender and juices run clear. Occasionally baste with juices in pan.
  • Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes or so. Cut into slices and serve.
