I just found this recipe and I have some leftover pork tenderloin. Do you think that you could reheat the tenderloin and add the veggie and it would be as good?

Hey Erica!
The pork loin in the pic is from TJ’s. It was pre sliced and packaged, I think it was just called “pork loin”. I have also bought the pork tenderloin that you mentioned and have made it in the crockpot and it’s really good too. I also have made this dish from bigger traditional pork chops given to me from my brother who raised a couple of pigs last year. Yummm….. I think any pork chop of pork loin would work you just would have to cook it longer if it’s not sliced as thin. Good luck!!

Love your blog! Where did you get your pork? The Pork Guy (my name for him) at the farmers mkt asked me what “kind” of loin, and Trader Joes had a long skinny thing called a pork “tenderloin” but it didn’t look as lean as what is in your pics. (I’m in SoCal and our TJ’s meat selection down here is decidedly less paleo-friendly than what I’ve seen from the pics of your groceries.)

Since non-grass-fed meat is supposed to be lean, and since I don’t think there’s any such thing as grass-fed pork, I’m thinking I’m supposed to find the leanest cut possible. How do you choose cuts of pork?

Many thanks!

The Irish butter I find at Trader Joe’s, it’s called Kerrygold but I think you can find it at other super markets as well. I actually made this same dish the other night and I just used olive oil with the peppers and mushrooms instead of butter and it was just as good!

Thanks for the great recipes!!! Two questions: First, what is the Irish Butter that you mention? Second, is there a dairy free substitute for it??? Perhaps coconut butter?
Thanks!
P.S. I’m enjoying chicken salad (right now!) made from leftovers of the super easy Roasted Chicken recipe you posted! Thanks!!!
