Main Dish

Pork Pizzaioli

1/2 cup low-sodium pasta sauce

6 pitted black olives, cut in half

2 teaspoons minced garlic

Several drops hot pepper sauce

Salt and freshly ground pepper

3/4 pound pork tenderloin

Olive oil spray

Place pasta sauce, olives and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high 1 minute, or place in a medium-size saucepan and simmer 2 minutes, until heated through. Add hot pepper sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Cove and set aside.

Cut pork almost in half lengthwise. Do not cut all the way through; it should open like a book. Heat a medium-size nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray with olive oil. Add pork. Brown 2 minutes. Turn and brown second side 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste to the cooked side. Lower heat to medium, cover with a lid and cook 4 more minutes, until meat thermometer reads 145 degrees. Remove from the skillet, cut in half, and spoon sauce on top. Makes 2 servings.
