3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 cup minced red bell pepper
1/4 cup minced onion
1 1/2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup 1/4-inch cubes kielbasa sausage* (about 2 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
24 ounces pork tenderloin, cut into 4 pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Preheat oven to 400°F. Melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour; cook until mixture is dark golden brown, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Add bell pepper and onion; sauté 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in broth. Add sausage and cayenne; increase heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper in medium bowl. Dredge pork in spices. Heat oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven; roast pork until thermometer registers 160°F, about 10 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Let stand 5 minutes. Slice pork 1/2 inch thick. Divide among 4 plates. Rewarm gravy. Mix in parsley. Pour gravy over pork and serve.
Use Cajun seasoning (such as Spice Hunter) that doesn't list salt as its first ingredient.
2 large red bell peppers
1/2 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup uncooked converted rice
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups baby spinach leaves
5 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Arrange halves in a 9-inch pie plate. Cover with heavy-duty plastic wrap. Microwave at high 5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Return peppers to pie plate.
Simmer sausage in water to cover for 10 minutes. Remove sausage and cut in 1-1/2 inch pieces. Combine with remaining ingredients. Turn into a buttered shallow 2-quart casserole. Bake, uncovered, at 350F for 20 to 25 minutes.
In large skillet crumble ground meat, add chopped onions & bell peppers & celery, salt, pepper, garlic powder, crushed red pepper (or just use Tony Chachere's in place of the seasoning.)
Cook over medium & low-med heat, stirring.
When meat is done & veggies are soft, combine w/ the rice & stir well.
There ya go! Can use this to stuff bell peppers, too.
