pork tenderloin coffee cream sauce
While talking with my mother yesterday, I remembered a dish that I haven’t made in a very long time – pork tenderloin with coffee cream sauce. This sauce was very popular at my mum’s table. Sometimes with pork tenderloin, sometimes with steak, sometimes with pork chops, you got the picture 🙂 It’s one of my dad’s favourites and I also like it a lot. So let me try it with the boyfriend.
(Drum roll) It’s approved! The boyfriend loved it so it’s another dish to cook more often 🙂
In my case, I used Port wine cause I always have a bottle in the house. And also because that’s the way my mum does it. But I know that with whisky the result is also very delicious. And I can guess that it will also be good with rum or vodka. I will try it next time and let you know! But if you try it first don’t forget to let me know 🙂
