3-4
shallots |
| (approx
1/2lb) |
6-10
cloves of
garlic |
| 50g
of Prosciutto |
175
ml whipping cream (35% MF) |
| 4
tbsp of olive oil (approx) |
100
ml of white wine |
| |
approximately
500g of linguine |
| |
2
sun-dried tomato slices |
| |
pepper |


Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees and dice both the shallots and the garlic.
(Optional: you may want to also chop a few slices of Prosciutto for the linguine,
as well.)
Preheat an oven-safe pan to medium with some of the olive oil in the pan.
Take slices of the Prosciutto and wrap them around the tenderloin, taking
care to wrap tightly enough that the Prosciutto stays wrapped to the tenderloin.
Place the wrapped meat into the pan, brown on all sides, then place in the
oven.
Preheat a saucepan with a few tablespoons of olive oil and lightly sauté the
garlic and shallots. Add about ½ the cream and ¼ of the wine,
as well as a touch more olive oil.
Begin boiling salted water in a medium sized pot (about ¾ full).
Open the oven and turn the meat over in the pan. Be very careful that the
Prosciutto does not come unwrapped from the tenderloin. Grind pepper over
the top, to taste, and salt to taste as well.
The sauce should be cooked until it is approximately half its original volume.
At this point, add the remaining cream and wine. Once you've done this, turn
the tenderloin again, making sure not to let the Prosciutto unravel.
Put the linguine in the boiling water, stirring occasionally. If you saved
some of the Prosciutto for the linguine, add it now.
Reduce the sauce to approximately half its prior volume, then lower the
heat and remove the meat from the oven. Let the meat cool for a few minutes
on a clean cutting board. While the meat is cooling, strain the linguine.
Then, cut the tenderloin into small medallions.
Serve the linguine, then the pork and then spoon the sauce on top. Garnish
with sun-dried tomatoes. |
