The sauce for these tenderloins is made by pureeing mushrooms in a blender This is just one example of how vegetable purees can be used as thickeners and flavorings for sauces. You can also sauté mushrooms and scatter them around and over the noisettes. Wild mushrooms make this an especially elegant dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 pork tenderloins, 12 to 14 ounces each
  • Salt
  • Pepper
