Alentejo Pork with Chorizo and Mussels



 
From Every Day with Rachael Ray
December-January 2008

FOUR SERVINGS




2 pork tenderloins (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika 1/3 pound precooked chorizo, chopped 2 carrots, peeled and chopped 1 onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1/2 cup dry white wine 1 cup chicken broth 24 mussels, scrubbed 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro Crusty bread, for mopping



1. Season the pork with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the EVOO , 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat until smoking. Working in batches, add the pork and cook until browned on the bottom, 2 minutes. Flip the meat, season with paprika and cook for 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
2. Add the chorizo to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the carrots, onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 7 minutes. Stir in the wine and simmer for 2 minutes. Return the pork to the pan.
3. Stir in the chicken broth and scatter the mussels around the skillet. Cover the pan and cook until the mussels open, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the lid, sprinkle the cilantro on top and serve immediately with bread for mopping.
