I love being able to integrate fresh mushrooms into recipes whenever I can. When I saw this Pork Tenderloin with Sherry Mushroom Sauce Recipe I had to give it a try. I made a few changes to the recipe because the sauce came out really thick-I thinned it out a little bit by adding a little extra water and Sherry to the recipe, and it turned out excellent. These changes have been added into the recipe. Another thing I should point out is, that this is a low carb recipe. You could serve this dish with rice, or mashed potatoes; I chose mashed potatoes and the sauce made a delicious gravy.
The next time you’re in the mood to make something a little different give this low carb Pork Tenderloin with Sherry Mushroom Sauce Recipe a try; you’ll love it.
