Not your father's "pork and beans"!
This was delicious, and used some of my garden herbs.
I had to cook the whole thing on top of the stove because my oven is broken (until next week). Could have gone a little longer, but leftovers are perfect when reheated!

Pork Tenderloin and Cannellini Beans
Step 3Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add pork; cook 9 minutes, browning on all sides. Remove pork from pan. Add onion and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add tomato and sage; cook 1 minute, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, chicken stock, red pepper, and cannellini beans, and bring to a boil. Return pork to pan, and place pan in oven. Bake at 425° for 12 minutes or until a thermometer registers 140°.
Place pork on a cutting board; let stand 5 minutes. Heat pan over medium heat; cook bean mixture 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Sprinkle with parsley. Thinly slice pork; serve with bean mixture.
Mise en place (this is SO unlike me!)
Plated - I'm trying to stay away from starches, but the sauce is so good I toasted half a roll to soak it up!
