Fillet of Pork in Pink Sauce
This dish is an ideal dish when you have to come up with something quickly and easy made. It is also one of my favorite everyday meals because it can be prepared ahead. 
INGREDIENTS:
Serves 6
* 8 hg (800 g) fillet of pork
* butter
* salt and pepper
* 3 dl cream or crème fraiche
* 3/4 tbsp Chinese soy
* 2 - 3 tbsp chili sauce (ketchup-like)
* 2 cloves of garlic
* 3/4 tsp French mustard
* 3 tsp tarragon
* ½ tsp black pepper
* chopped parsley
* ½ tbsp rosé pepper, or why not some red hot chili pepper flakes (optional).
METHOD:
1. Cut the fillet into slices, 1½ - 2 centimeters (150 - 200 mm).
2. Brown the fillet slices in butter in a skillet.
3. Salt and pepper to taste.
4. Put the slices into an ovenproof dish.
5. Pour cream or crème fraiche into a bowl.
6. Add the remaining ingredients, and stir around.
7. Taste the sauce. pour it over the fillet slices, and stir around.
8. When ready to serve, heat the oven to 225°C [=437 °F].
9. Reheat about 10 minutes.
Though simple, it is good-looking and tasty served with potatoes, cooked rice or pasta. I like to serve oven-cooked potato wedges and a salad. So, for a potato recipe go to limes & lycopene.
Since most pork comes from young animals, the meat is tender. Fillet of pork is often sold at special price here in Sweden; fresh, or imported frozen from Denmark. Sometimes Swedish fillet of pork is three times more expensive than the Danish. I wonder why.
"You are what you eat, and you get what you pay for"? I am not sure Danish pigs are as "happy" as Swedish pigs, but I would never pay a fortune for an everyday meal.

Oh yes, this would be a yummy dish and look at the colour!
Cynthia: Well, the color of the dish is a bit different. and the picture is far from perfect. I could have "Photoshopped" it, but didn´t.
Karin, my father loves pork. And the color of the sauce is really yummy - I agree with Cynthia!
Patricia: I thought the color looked really terrible:) My husband loves pork too. I rarely buy beef. (Maybe three or four times a year).
Hi there Karin, thanks for the link to my potato wedges. You have a lovely blog. I know very little about Swedish food, so it's interesting to read your posts and see the dishes you're cooking.
Hi Kathryn, You´re welcome. Did I forget to tell you about the link? Your recipe was similar to mine. You know, we eat a lot of potatoes in Sweden, and homemade potato wedges are delicious.
