Roast Pork Loin with Fruit Sauce

Pascal Jolivet Sancerre 2006

Tonight's meal was make in under one hour.  It consisted of the following:

Roast Pork Loin with Fruit Sauce
 - After trimming fat from pork loin and searing in a saute pan, I roast for 25 minutes.  I added dried plums and orange-infused crazins (the only fruit we had lying around).  I added some white wine in the pan before roasting.  After removing pork from the oven, I reduced gin in the pan to get all the good stuff off of pan.  I added a bit more white wine as well.  The fruit sauce was served over top the sliced pork loin.

Grilled Asparagus
 - This was grilled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  Salt, pepper, onion powder, and sesame seeds were added half-way through cooking

Garlic Rice Pilaf

 - We enjoyed this nice Sancerre with the meal.  It was a good pairing.  This Sauvignon Blanc is very food friendly, and it stood up reasonably well to the acidic vinegar/asparagus combo.  The plums in sauce were a bit to much for this wine to handle, but it still complemented the pork nicely.  A red zinfandel or petite syrah might have been better with the pork, but this wine was better overall considering the asparagus and rice.  Good stuff

Overall

 - This was a very pleasurable meal considering that we only had 1.5 hours from the start of cooking to the end of eating (we wanted to take our son to the beach while it was so nice out).
