Drizzle the quick honey-mustard pan sauce over the pork and beans in this 30-minute dinner for a comforting, healthy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
1 ¼ pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 pound mature spinach, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh sage
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 (15 ounce) cans low-sodium cannellini beans, rinsed
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth, divided
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Season pork with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, turning often, until browned on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total. Transfer the pan to the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add spinach and 1/8 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; cover to keep warm.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pot over medium heat. Add garlic, sage and crushed red pepper; cook for 30 seconds. Add beans, 1/2 cup broth and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Mash with a potato masher until almost smooth. Reduce heat and cook, stirring often, until hot, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover.
Transfer the pork to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Add honey, mustard and the remaining 1/4 cup broth to the pan (the handle will be hot). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
Slice the pork. Serve with the spinach, mashed beans and sauce.
