Started with Pork Tenderloin: $11.76

Then put my twist on them

Seasoned them well

Then sliced apples and onions on the mandolin
2 apples: $1.50
1 onion: $0.35

And made a bed of them in my cast iron skillet and added some herbs from the garden (rosemary and thyme)
$1.00?? On that high side

Put the pork to bed with 1/2 cup of Orange juice in bottom of pan $0.50

Then smoked low and slow on the Shirley, before finishing in the firebox

Let it rest, while I get the rice ($1.00?) on the plate

Plated

Are those tenderloins split in half length ways, twisted and tied? Looks great.

Cut into 3 strips each.
Seasoned, then braided and ends tied.

Awesome presentation. Looks like one braid was cooked without seasoning.

Looks like you were baking one of those fancy twisted loaves of bread.

Interesting ingredients in the pan underneath. Great cook, John.
