Delicious Island Pork Tenderloin Recipe

A couple of years ago, me and some friends bid on and won a dinner catered by a gourmet club at a charity auction event. The main entree at the dinner was the most delicious pork tenderloin I had ever tasted.

Delicious Island Pork Tenderloin

The gourmet club generously shared all of their recipes from that evening with us and so I have been able to recreate that dish over and over again, much to my family’s delight.

  1. I’ve first saw it on Epeicuiras around 20 years ago as a summer salad. If you have not made the salad, your missing out.
