Marinate in equal parts (1/4 cup) Dijon mustard, honey and apricot preserves/jam. Tenderloin cooks for 45 min at 350. Awesome!

Arrosto di maiale con finocchio: A roast of tender pork with garlic and fennel bulbs.

You will need one good sized cut of pork, preferably a leg roast (~3lbs), 3 bulbs of fennel, several cloves of garlic, about a cup of dry white wine, salt, pepper, olive oil, and rosemary.

First you will cut the leafy tops off of your fennel, chop them roughly, and throw them in the blender with the garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add a small amount of olive oil and blend, adding more oil as necessary, until the greens and garlic form a thick paste. It shouldn't take more than a tablespoon or so of oil at the most.

Next, slice the fennel bulbs in half.

Then take your pork roast, rub it all over with the paste until good and coated, and put it in a roasting dish. Pour the wine into the dish and surround the roast with the halved fennel bulbs.

Place the dish into a pre-heated, 375 degree oven, for about 45 minutes or until cooked through. Please use a meat thermometer to determine if your meat is properly cooked!

I like them with the Ah-So sauce. 50 calories for 2 tbsp.
