The throwdown entry that wasn't.....

[Todd NC]

...but should have been. I didn't take any pics of the finished or plated tenderloin because I didn't think it was going to be that good. I should have because it was pretty tasty.

The players: dried cranberries, Riesling to rehydrate the berries, celery, onion, Granny Smith apple and some Thanksgiving-type herbs.

Adding some delicious liquid back to the berries

Tasty

Time to soften up the veggies and apple

Now to let them share their flavors

I cut a pocket in the tenderloin and filled it with the stuffing. Seasoned the outside with some s&p, rosemary, and thyme. I grilled it indirect with a chunk of apple for the smoke. It turned out a lot Bette than I was expecting.

Thanks for looking.

That's too bad... You were of to a great start. I bet it was great.
A few action shots and plated pics and you could of been in the throwdown.
