We are entertaining Superbowl Sunday. It's not nachos and wings. Our guest is an influential colleague of my wife (who presumably does not care about football).
For the main, I am making the pork and tomatillo chili from the LA times. However, I would like to provide a little more meat and a textural contrast. I bought a pork tenderloin. I'm thinking about SV followed by a hard sear to provide textural contrast. Thoughts?
Full menu:
Komi dates (with mascarpone, EVOO, and black salt), quick broil
Artichoke nibbles
Light minestrone soup
Apple/Manchego salad
Fresh linguine with Hazan's tomato sauce
Main (LA Times pork and tomatillo chili/ rice ? pork tenderloin)
