    Warm pears, crunchy walnuts, and a dash of balsamic vinegar top off this variation on pork tenderloin. The salsa hits a great combination of sweet and savory, and the warm brown color gives it a rustic visual effect.

    If you have any lard available to cook with, this recipe would be a great place to use it: making the salsa with lard will intensify the pork flavor of the whole recipe.

    If you wanted to save some dishes with this, you could also do it all in the same skillet. Just use an oven-safe skillet so you can easily transfer it all from the stovetop to the oven when you add the pork. Spoon some of the salsa over the top, and into the oven, it goes!

    This recipe could easily work as a cold-weather recipe with roasted vegetables or a thick, creamy soup. But it could also go in a slightly more springtime direction, maybe with fingerling potatoes (yes, white potatoes are OK) or baby greens in a simple vinaigrette.
