Ingredients
Brown Sugar Glazed Sage Pork Loins
1 pound pork loin, cut into 2-3 slices
1 teaspoon brown sugar, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
6-10 large sage leaves
Caprese Salad
1 large tomato or 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced
4 oz mozzarella, torn
1 sprig basil
Drizzle of olive oil
salt and pepper
1-2 slices toast
Directions:
Rub sage leaves on each side of the pork loin. Then leave the sage leaves on each side. Sprinkle about ¼ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon brown sugar over on side of all three slices of pork loins. Then turn the pork loins over and sprinkle another ¼ teaspoon of salt and ½ brown sugar over all three. Allow the pork loins to marinade for about 20-30 minutes.
In a large skillet, add butter over low to medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the pork loins and minced garlic, and cook until the side has browned, about 5-6 minutes. Flip the pork loins to the other side, and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes.
Plate pork loins, and pour the sauce over the pork loins, or serve the buttery sauce on the side.
To make the caprese salad, chop up a large tomatoes into wedges, or cut grape or cherry tomatoes in halves. Tear up a sprig of basil. Tear up mozzarella. Drizzle olive oil, and season with a little bit of salt and pepper.
Serve the brown sugar glazed sage pork loins with the caprese salad and toast.
