A dish like this, which combines tastes inspired by France with the comfort of slow cooking, would make you want to stay in all weekend long simply to eat it. What I'm referring to is a tenderloin of pork cooked in a slow cooker with a creamy mustard sauce. Using Dijon mustard to harmonize the meat with a delicious cream sauce is a traditional French technique that forms the basis of this recipe. Anyone looking for a gourmet supper that is both easy to prepare and promises to give depth of flavor with no work will love this recipe. It's not just for those who are skilled in the finer points of cooking. This pork tenderloin is perfect for any occasion, from a quiet night in with loved ones to a formal supper for visitors.
Root vegetables or potato gratin are common accompaniments to hog recipes with a French flair. But to shake things up a bit, I usually serve this delicate pork tenderloin with mashed cauliflower or roasted asparagus that has garlic in it. The roasted asparagus and garlic flavor goes well with the pork and the sauce, and the mashed cauliflower adds a touch of elegance to the plate. With some crusty bread or rice pilaf on the side, you can soak up all that delicious sauce.
