• Half-teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• One teaspoon Chardonnay vinegar

2. When the pan is hot, add the vegetables and sauté until tender.
3. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk in the Chardonnay vinegar. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

• Sixteen slices Hill Meats Company cured slab bacon
• Eight sage leaves
• Two Duroc pork tenderloins, cleaned and trimmed, approximately two pounds
• Two teaspoons black pepper
• Eight 8-inch pieces of butcher’s twine
• One teaspoon blended canola-olive oil
• One cup Butterscotch Braised Apples (see recipe)
• Two cups Sweet Corn and Edamame Relish (see recipe)

Instructions

1. Overlap eight slices of bacon across a cutting board. 
2. Place four sage leaves across one end of the bacon, perpendicularly.
3. Lay one pork tenderloin on top of the sage, then gently roll the bacon up around the loin, working to keep the bacon wrapped as tightly as possible.
4. Seam side down, tie a piece of butcher’s twine every two inches and secure with a knot.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with the second tenderloin.
6. Place the pork loins in a large ovenproof vacuum-sealable bag. Seal and place the bag in the sous vide cooker.
7. Using an instant-read probe-style thermometer, heat the water to 138 degrees Fahrenheit. Drop the bagged pork loins in the water and poach for 47 minutes. Once the pork is done cooking, plunge the bag with the pork into an ice bath, cool and set aside.
8. When you are ready to serve the pork, pour the blended oil into a medium sauté pan and heat over medium-high flame. Season the tenderloins with the black pepper, add them to the hot oil and sauté, rotating a quarter-turn at a time to allow the bacon to crisp all around and the tenderloin to warm thoroughly.
9. Take the tenderloin out of the pan and allow to rest for five minutes, then slice and serve with the Sweet Corn and Edamame Relish and Butterscotch Braised Apples.
