I’m all about creating dishes based on ingredients that I have on hand in my fridge and/or pantry.  Recently, I had over done it with pork tenderloin and forgot that they typically come two to a package; so when I thawed them to prepare for dinner, there was more than an abundance for just Bill and I.  I also had a package of cauliflower from Costco that was nearing it’s expiration date.  I like cauliflower more than Bill, but we both enjoy pork tenderloin; the cut from the center of the pig just below the ribs stronghold legends kostenlos herunterladen.  It is tender, as long as it’s not overcooked and it’s actually pretty good for you!  “Pork® The Other White Meat®” campaign debuted in 1987 with an aggressive media campaign directed at U.S. consumers.  The goal of the campaign was to increase consumer demand for pork and to dispel pork’s reputation as a fatty protein.  Today, the campaign has been successful in positioning pork as a lean protein and an excellent choice for all meal occasions Download javascript for free.  The brand is a symbol of the successful evolution of lean pork products available today and its contribution to pork becoming the world’s most consumed protein.  So when you’re looking for lean protein to include in your diet, or when you simply crave some healthy meat, pork tenderloin is a good choice.  It’s low in fat, high in protein and a rich source of B vitamins and selenium mercedes navi.  I decided to create a white chili that would also be good if you used chicken!  With the grilled flavors of the pork, I thought roasted green pepper would add flavor and the cauliflower virtually disappears so those who don’t care for it, don’t usually even know it’s there!  This is really flavorful and delicious.

Ingredients: 

4 Cups Pork Loin, grilled and chopped
3 15oz swr coffee or tee app. Cans White Beans, drained and rinsed

If you are not using left over cooked meat, brown the meat of your choice in a Dutch oven or soup pot.  Break up ground meat as it browns or if you’re using chuck roast, make sure all sides of the beef cubes are seared dark brown.  Set the browned meat aside download videos samsung internet.

Heat the butter and oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until softened and translucent, about five minutes.  Add the garlic and cook it until it’s fragrant, about another minute or two gratis bildbearbeitungsprogramm zumen.  Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, roast the peppers over an open flame before removing the charred skin and seeds windows apps ohne microsoft konto downloaden.  To roast peppers:  Place the peppers on the burners, making sure they are close to the flame.  Leave the peppers over the flame, constantly monitoring them.  Rotate the peppers once the skin has blackened in a certain area.  Continue until the entire surface is black and crispy.
