Pork Tenderloin with Sauteed Spinach

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 pound pork tenderloin
•  coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 10 ounces fresh spinach

Instructions

[1] Heat half of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Season pork with salt and pepper. Cook pork in hot oil, turning occasionally, for 20-25 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 degrees.

[2] Transfer pork to a plate and tent with foil. Wipe out skillet.

[3] Meanwhile, in a blender, combine orange juice, mustard, ginger, honey, garlic and the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Set aside.

[4] In the same skillet, heat another drop of oil over high heat. Add as much spinach as will fit, tossing until wilted, adding more spinach as there is room, about 5 minutes total. Drain off excess liquid and season spinach with salt and pepper. Serve sliced pork on a bed of spinach, drizzled with vinaigrette.
