This is my third and final new meal from the same pork tenderloin.  Stir fries are a staple in my house because they cook up quick and are relatively inexpensive.  I wanted to do something a little different from my usual stir fry so when I saw beautiful sugar snap peas and snow peas, at my local market, I knew I had to use them.  I also like the sound of pork and peas and the color is great.  The peas make this dish super simple too.  No need to chop just wash and add them to the stir fry.  Young sugar snap and snow peas do not even need to be trimmed and stringed; but if they are a little older just snap off the ends and pull off the strings along the seams because they can be a little tough.

Mix together the sauce ingredients and set aside.

Meanwhile wash and string the peas (if necessary) and prepare the other ingredients.

Heat a large saute pan (or wok) over medium high heat.  Add about 1 Tbsp vegetable, peanut, or canola oil to the pan and swish around.

Add the ginger and garlic, stirring constantly, until fragrant.  Then add the onion and peas cooking until tender crisp.  Add the pork and sauce and stir until everything is coated and pork is reheated.

Remove from heat and serve with rice.

Makes 2 servings.

Enjoy.

On Monday I posted my Herb Roasted Pork Tenderloin recipe.  In that post I mentioned that I made 3 different meals from the tenderloin.  This is the second meal made from it.

Pork Tenderloin Salad

Dried cherries
Pecans
Red onion, sliced thin
Feta
Lemon Thyme Dressing

**Lemon Thyme Dressing:  mix together the juice of 1 lemon, 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, and 1 clove of garlic that has been grated on a microplane (or finely minced).  Allow to sit for at least a few minutes for the flavors to meld (the longer it sits the better it tastes you can mix some up the night before or keep some in your fridge, it's delicious).

Toss enough lettuce for 2 salads in the Lemon Thyme Dressing until thoroughly coated.

Separate the lettuce into individual bowls and top with red onions (to taste), pecans, dried cherries, half of the pork, and a sprinkle of feta.

You could alternatively just toss everything together with the dressing but I prefer to only toss the greens in the dressing.  Do whatever you like.

Serve immediately.  Makes 2 salads.

Enjoy.
