Manifold Cooking - Recipes to Drive You Wild


Many years ago I spent alot of time on the road. My circle of friends were all mobile warriors as well & together we discovered a book called "Manifold Destiny- The One, The Only, Guide to Cooking on Your Car Engine".

Seriously, it was a cookbook with recipes designed to work with car engines. Mmmmm....nothing like a little high-octane cooking!

So here's a manifold recipe for you:

Pork Tenderloin - Cooking distance: 250 miles
This is a great treat for the end of a long trip. Picture this, you've been on the road for 4 hours & are really getting hungry. Pull over to a picnic table somewhere, take out your thermos of...whatever, pop the hood & enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 large pork tenderloin, butterflied
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 cup red onion, minced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp crushed red peppers
1 tbsp cooking sherry
Salt & pepper

Blend together all of the ingredients (except the pork) and spread across the inside of the pork tenderloin. Close up the pork, triple-wrap in foil and place on a medium-hot part of the engine. Turn once (125 miles) during cooking.
