Pork Tenderloin on a Vegetable Bed image

I got the original recipe from Johanna Jones-she owns and operates a pig farm in South Carolina. This is a "wow, clean out the garden, all in one yummy" summer recipe. I've changed the peppers-she used green and I've added more green onions-Johanna used three. Other than that "this is the Bomb!"

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper or 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large pork tenderloin or 2 small pork tenderloin
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced long
1 orange bell pepper, sliced long
1 yellow squash, cut the end's off-stand on end and cut off bite sized chunks-turning as you go
1 zucchini, cut the end's off-stand on end and cut off bite sized chunks-turning as you go
5 green onions, cut into 1 inch lengths
2 -3 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can stewed tomatoes (unseasoned)

Steps:

  • Combine the thyme, pepper and salt.
  • Roll the pork, pressing the mixture into it.
  • Cook the tenderloin in oil, in a large-cast iron if you have it-skillet on medium heat until done-about 30 min.
  • Remove from the skillet, place on a cutting board and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, same heat cook the remaining ingredients except beans and tomatoes to preference-we like the veg a bit underdone.
  • Add the beans and tomatoes and remaining thyme and heat through, about 4-5 min.
  • Spoon into a large serving plate-slice the pork thin and place on top.
  • A few thyme sprigs is a nice touch.
