Braided Pork Tenderloin

thealabamafoodist

This is a recipe that I put together based on a YouTube video I saw. I thought the pork braids were beautiful but the video didn’t give much instruction as to how to put it together. This turned out to be one of the most juicy pork recipes I have ever made so I wanted to share it!


The recipe looks time consuming because of all of the steps but I promise it is easy. I just wanted to make sure that it was easy to follow, step by step, so that yours will turn out perfectly!


I serve this with either mashed or roasted potatoes and sautéed spinach. The “gravy” is a little fatty for me but if you wanted to skim off the extra oil, it would be very tasty.

How It Began...
and why I do it

Connecting with Foodies since 2000

My name is Leslie and my love of restaurants that “get it right” started during the several years that I worked for a company called Restaurant Rating Service. This was not a mystery diner type position. Restaurant owners hired the company to come in and secretly evaluate every aspect of the restaurant and dining experience. These guys knew that successful restaurants didn't succeed on food alone. These owners I understood that, for a restaurant to be truly stellar, every component of the business had to work. That position made me look at restaurants entirely differently. Of course, if the food is not good, it doesn’t matter what else you do right. But many restauranteurs believe that, if the food is right, nothing else matters. That is a recipe for what I call a "shooting star" restaurant - they are great for a short while and then they fizzle out. I love food and I love seeing restaurants that get it right! I especially love to see local restaurants succeed. At first, I used Twitter to share great food of course, but also to share what I had learned,  and to discuss small issues within establishments that could be changed for big results. Then Covid hit. I soon realized you could do everything right, and a Pandemic could STILL completely destroy you. I developed an even deeper passion for our local restaurants. We have some of the best establishments anywhere and even the little guys deserve a chance!
That is when the focus of my Twitter adventure changed. I still like to share restaurant experiences, new places to eat in Alabama cities across the state, history of restaurants (particularly in Birmingham, because I live here) and fun discussions about food in general. However, I have become more interested in promoting and encouraging local restaurants and businesses. I like to encourage my followers and friends to patronize the new and the old but mostly the local!
