This week is a little crazy so far. We had friends over last night for dinner and ended up grilling pork tenderloin even though it was quite chilly out. We used a coffee spice rub. We put whole yams wrapped in foil on the grill with the tenderloins and then pureed them once soft along with Gouda cheese, a tiny bit of cream and butter. I also made a white bean salad using dry beans that were soaked overnight along with an arugula pesto. Yum!
Here are some other ideas inspired by Clotilde Dusoulier (of "Chocolate & Zucchini") I hope you find something you like.
