Ingredients

Pork
1 Pork Tenderloin
Salt & Pepper
Sunchoke Puree
1/2 lb of sunchokes, peeled, thinly sliced
1 cup of heavy cream
2 TBSP of butter
Salt & pepper to taste
Sunchoke chips (optional, but they add crunch)
1/4 lb of sunchokes, peeled thinly sliced
Canola oil (or vegetable oil)
Porcini Jus
1 cup water
1 oz dried porcinis
3 TBSP butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tsp sherry wine vinegar
4 crimini mushrooms, sliced or roughly chopped

Steps:

Porcini Jus 1. Bring water to boil, remove from heat and soak porcinis for 20 minutes. Using 1 TBSP butter, cook the crimini mushrooms, about 5 mins. Add the porcinis and liquid and cook down, 1 minute. Add broth and vinegar and cook down, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in remaining butter. Set aside. Pork Tenderloin 1. Preheat oven to 425°. Season the tenderloin with salt and pepper. 2. In a large skillet sear the pork on each side, around 2 mins per side (around 6-8 min total). 3. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and insert an instant read thermometer and put in the oven until it reaches 140°, about 17-20 minutes. 4. Transfer to cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before cutting. Cut slices 1/4- 1/2" thick. Two slices per person. You should have some pork left over. Sunchoke Puree 1. In a medium sauce pan combine the sunchokes, cream, and butter and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to simmer and cook until the sunchokes are tender, about 8-10 minutes. 2. Remove from heat and pour mixture through strainer over a bowl, reserving the liquid. Add the drained sunchokes to a food processor or blender and start adding the liquid and puree until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. (For an extra pop of flavor you can also stir in 1 TBSP black truffle oil). Sunchoke Chips 1. Line a dish with paper towel to absorb oil. 2. Add a 1/2" of canola oil to a deep pan or pot and add 8-10 slices of sunchoke at a time. Cook until lightly tan in color (they will keep cooking slightly so don't pull them out at the last minute or they will look burned). 2-3 mins per batch. 3. With a slotted spoon transfer slices to paper towel and sprinkle with kosher salt. Repeat until all are cooked. You want approx 24 chips per plate. Plate: Using a tablespoon utensil, add dollop of sunchoke puree to plate, add 2 slices of pork, 1-2 tsp of porcini sauce, and sprinkle chips. (Add shaved black truffle for pop, if you have it).
