Ingredients

  • 1 pound Pork Tenderloin
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 cup White Wine
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Broth
  • 1 medium Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 pound Clams
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Aminos
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1 pound Pork Tenderloin into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, season the pork cubes with the 1/2 teaspoon Salt, 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper, and 1 teaspoon Paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. 2Heat the 2 tablespoons Olive Oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Add the seasoned pork cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. The pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  3. 3Add the 4 cloves Garlic, minced, and the 1 medium Red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced, to the skillet with the pork. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant and the bell pepper begins to soften.
  4. 4Pour the 1/2 cup White Wine and 1/2 cup Vegetable Broth into the skillet. Bring the liquid to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer gently for 15 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
  5. 5Add the 1 pound Clams and 1 tablespoon Coconut Aminos to the skillet. Cover the skillet tightly and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until all the clams have opened. Discard any clams that do not open.
  6. 6Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped. Serve immediately.
