Pork Tenderloin with Tarragon Mustard Cream Sauce
My wife Lisa and her family have been making this pork tenderloin recipe for decades. We used to serve it with rice and in recent years shied away from it because like most people we were programmed to think heavy cream (fat) was the enemy. And…
If you are eating a usual high carb diet then adding heavy cream to the mix will indeed add density to your waistline.
Now that we spend most of our days in ketosis we have re-introduced this favorite to our monthly menu. The kids still get the rice but my wife and I opt for sauteed broccoli rabe or mashed cauliflower and a salad to go with. It’s good to be Keto!
