Ingredients
- 15 ounces whole steamed chestnuts in jar
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- salt
- black pepper
- 1½ cups red wine dry
- 1½ cups veal stock

Instructions
- Pat pork dry. Melt reserved fat in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add pork and brown well on all sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper
- Add wine, stock (can substitute with sodium free chicken stock), onions, carrot and garlic and bring to simmer. Cover and cook 30 minutes, adjusting heat so cooking liquid is barely shaking.
- Add chestnuts and leeks to port. Continue cooking until instant-read thermometer inserted in pork registers 170F and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes; do not overcook.
- Strain liquid into heavy medium saucepan. Boil liquid until reduced to thin sauce like consistency; degrease.
- Return to vegetables. Slice pork and arrange around platter. Spoon vegetables and sauce into center and serve.

Notes
- Use a heavy bottom pan. I strongly recommend Le Creuset cast enamel. It cooks evenly, and the sauces are always perfect.
- This recipe's timing is based on a regular bake setting. Insert your meat thermometer into the thickest part of your cuts of meat, and the internal temperature should register 170F.
- Do save all the excess fat that you trim out of the pork as you will use it to sear your pork in it.
