BBQ Pork TenderloinLast night I made this for the first time. I found I had to cook it 12 minutes to get it to 150 degrees. It tasted good and the meat was nice and tender.
We had it on mini buns. Is anyone making this at shows? Do you serve it with BBQ sauce on the side? My husband thought it needed more flavor.
Couldn't be any easier.
 
I have made it. It's all dependent on the microwave whether it's done in 10 or 12 minutes. So far no one has complained about needing more flavor and we've never used any sauce with it.
 
Wow, the microwaves here around me must be stronger because at my house and at the shows I've done this recipe at, it's never taken more than 10 minutes (at my house it's been more like 8). Or maybe they've been smaller cuts of meat. I LOVE making this at shows. Sometimes I slice it really thin and do the little sandwiches and sometimes I just cut the pieces up in cubes and serve with the BBQ sauce more as a dipping sauce. Everyone has ALWAYS loved it!!:) This is by far my favorite DCB microwave recipe.

Get this- when I made the Pork Tenderloin I also made the Chicken Jerk Nachos at the same time for my husbands sheepshead night. I accidently added the Smokey BBQ to the chopped red pepper/lime juice for the nachos instead of the Jerk Seasoning . Not wanting to waste the red pepper mixture. I microwaved it a bit and then drizzled it over the slices pork tenderloin. The guys ate all of it and it looked very pretty.

Ohhh... I miss sheepshead! We used to play at least twice a month when we lived in WI. No one in NC knows what we are talking about when we bring it up here!
 
Fennel?Does anyone have suggestions for fennel?

I pulled out my fennel plants from the garden today as we had a freeze last night. I thought I had planted bulb fennel and would try a recipe for that. Turns out I planted seed fennel (didn't know there was a difference). So, I have the fern branches to use. Looks kinda like dill, but tastes like anise.

Any ideas? I've put it in salads so far, but would love to try something else.

Mashpotatoes! :)
 
Greg, would you put the fern part in the potatoes or grind up the root? The root looks more like horseradish root, it's deffinately not a bulb.

It's also used in pizza dishes. If you precook pizza sausage it can be mixed in there

You grind up the root/bulb. You can also use the fern as decoration.
