Q: My husband raved about the Plum Pork at the Pleasant Peasant, so when we celebrated Valentine's Day there, I ordered it myself. It was as delicious as he promised.
--- Barbara France, Newnan

A: The Pleasant Peasant was happy to share this delicious dish. Thin medallions of pork tenderloin are marinated in a mustard-based sauce, chargrilled and served with a sweet-savory plum sauce.

Hands on time: 25 minutes  Total time: 2 hours and 5 minutes  Serves: 6

Ingredients:

    For the pork:
    1/4 cup grainy Dijon mustard
    1/8 cup honey
    1/8 cup soy sauce
    2 pounds pork tenderloin, excess fat and silverskin removed

    For the plum sauce:
    8 ounces plum preserves
    1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
    3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    2 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard
    1/4 cup water
    1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh garlic
    1 teaspoon beef bouillon

Instructions:

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup mustard, honey and soy sauce; set aside. Cut pork into 2-ounce pieces. Pound with a mallet to 1/2-inch thickness. Toss with marinade and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine plum preserves, red wine vinegar, both mustards, water, garlic salt, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic and beef bouillon. Stir until smooth.
