1 jar alfredo sauce

1 jar pesto (**make your own! 2 cloves garlic, 2 cups Basil, 1 cup Olive oil S&P, Blend Well**)

1tube pre-made pizzadough

1cup pre-cooked shrimp

1cup mozzerella

1jar Artichokes in brine, chopped

1/2jar capers, drained and rinsed

ALSO!

1TBSP garlic powder

1TBSP Parmesan cheese *cheap from the shaker can people, lets be honest its FEB and we’re runnin out of funds!*

1TBSP Oregano

1TBSP Butter

Roll out the dough, and mix roughly 1/2 Jar Pesto with 1/5th of a jar of  alfredo (You want it to be a thick sauce, not runny, and with more pesto than alfredo). Spread pesto/alfredo mix onto dough, add shrimp, artichokes and capers, then top with cheese. On the crust, spread thin layer of butter, then mix together the oregano, garlic powder and cheese, and top the buttered crust with it. Bake at 350 for 15-20minutes or until crust is browned.

Mole (moe-lay)  is a spice Mexican sauce usually made with pablano peppers. The sauce is the “hardest part” (the only hard part is acquiring all of the ingredients). Spice up your loved ones mouth with this delicious little concoction. The Peppers and the chocolate are both aphrodisiac, and the pork loin is so easy, who would resist!

Pork Loin with Spicey Mole Sauce

PORK:

1 Pork Loin

3cloves sliced garlic,

2TBSP Rosemary

2TBSP Salt and Pepper

On a clean cutting board, lay your pork down and cut lots of semi-deep slits into the top of the meat. Shove one slice of garlic into the slits, and then remove loin from the board. Now on the board, spread garlic, and spices out evenly and roll the loin in the spices. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown and crusted on top, and the inside temperature is 160 degrees. (about 1 hour)

SAUCE:

2 Chipoltle chilies (canned) chopped
4 dried ancho chilies, chopped
4 dried mulato chilies, chopped
1 can (14 oz / 400 g) tomatoes or 3 large, fresh tomatoes, skinned and chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup (2.4 dl) chicken broth
4 tablespoons peanutbutter
½ teaspoon ground pepper
½ teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
2 oz (60 g) bittersweet chocolate

Begin by heating a pan, and adding the spices and chillies to the pan in order to ‘roast’ them. Add chillies to hot chicken broth to reconstitute, and then add all ingredients (except chocolate) to a blender. Blend on high until everything is pureed then begin heating in a pot. Gently mix in the chocolate, and serve hot over the pork loin.

REDUCE CHILLIE AMOUNT if you are not a fan of hot things, although this dish is “spicy” it is not HOT spicy, just spiced tasting.

I hope you enjoy your elegant pork loin, definitely give me some feedback on this tidbit!
