"Piggy Sprouts"

Dice bacon and cook til semi-crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and
save the fat in pan to cook with.

1 small spanish onion.



Slice very thinly.



Add butter to the bacon fan, melt on medium-low heat.

Cook onions on medium-low for 10-15 minutes or until carmelized.

.5# Brussel sprouts.

Washed.

Trim the bottom stem off and slice in half. Add to saute pan with onion and
bacon. Turn heat up and slightly carmelize.

Coffee Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

<>

1.5# Pork tenderloin, trimmed of the silver skin.



For the rub I used equal parts French roast coffee, brown sugar, and chili powder
with salt and pepper to taste. Next time I would use less coffee, as the taste was
a little strong.



I sliced the tenderloin so I could take different pieces out of the oven at different
times depending on thickness.

Roast in a prehated 350 degree oven for 10-20 minutes depending on thickness.

Slice on the bias for presentation.

Served with Sprouts.
