Recipe: BBQ Pork Tenderloin Lettuce Wraps with Apple-Jalepano Compote
What to do with left over BBQ pork tenderloin? In a previous life, we would slice it, reheat it, and serve it with a few salsas, some pineapple and warm tortillas as Mock Tacos al Pastor. We took inspiration from the Al Pastor style, and from lettuce wrapped Moo-Shu pork to create Pork Tenderloin Lettuce wraps with Apple-Jalepeno Compote.
Recipe: Apple-Jalepeno Compote
Ingredients
1 fuji apple, cored, peeled and quartered
Instructions
Cut apple quarters and onions into 1/4 inch dice. Cut jalapeno pepper into 1/8 inch dice.
In a small saucepan, saute the onion until translucent. Add the dice apple and saute another 5 minutes, until soft.
Add the water, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and lets simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove cover, and reduce until compote has a salsa like consistency. Remove from heat, and spoon into a bowl.
