This is a simple but elegant entree. Pork tenderloin pounded thin and combined with mushrooms, red wine and demi glaze. The stock is key to this dish. If you don't make your own you should. It makes all the difference and is not that difficult to make. Yes, it is rich. Eat occasionally and serve as a great dinner party entree. Wine: The rich stock and mushrooms support a good red wine. Serve with Retzlaff Livermore Valley organic Cabernet/Merlot 2004 Blend; Oak aged for two years. Not a true Bordeaux blend but a great wine for the price.
