As a professional chef with years of experience crafting hearty stews, I recommend this pork tenderloin recipe for its rich, aromatic flavors from port wine and ginger.

  1. Do not trim the pork tenderloin; cut it into pieces.
  2. Heat duck fat or sunflower oil and sear the meat on all sides.
  3. Add the chopped onion, crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, and ginger.
  4. Season with Guérande salt and freshly milled pepper; simmer until the herbs soften.
  5. Deglaze with port, reduce slightly, then add water to cover the meat.
  6. Cook for about 1 hour until tender.
  7. Arrange on a warm serving platter and sprinkle with chopped chives.

Recommended accompaniment: Fresh tagliatelle
