Believe it or not, this dinner took about 15 minutes to put together. And it was healthy. And tasty!I purchased some marinated pounded pork tenderloin at a fantastic store in my neighborhood and my husband grilled it up. Because it had been pounded, it cooked up quickly and because it was already marinated, it was full of flavor.
To go with the pork, I sauteed some zucchini, yellow bell pepper, and mushrooms and mixed them with some leftover quinoa from the other day. To flavor and season the dish, I ran about 1/4 cup of leftover chimichurri sauce through a fine strainer and mixed the resulting liquid into the quinoa and veggies. I also added two chopped vine ripened tomatoes for some freshness and additional color.
Before we knew it, dinner was ready! You've gotta love that on a work night - especially if you work late or want to get to the gym after leaving the office. The key is having some good staples and leftovers in the house to make things quick and easy so always make extra and be creative about how you use what's left.
