Chili & Summer Peach Pork Tenderloin

August is National Peach Month, and for good reason! Nothing says summer quite like biting into a delicious and juicy pear on a hot afternoon. Originating in China, peaches have long represented a long life, as it is considered the fruit of the gods. Additionally, peach ferns are known as a symbol of good luck, hence why they are often included in wedding bouquets.

Chef Adrianne has chosen to add to this fruit’s rich history by introducing her Chili & Summer Peach Pork Tenderloin dish! This meal has a little bit of everything. The sweetness of the peach, the savoriness of the tenderloin, and the spiciness of the bell peppers will be sure to fulfill your quest for flavor. What’s more, this is not an over-complicated dish, making it a great option to satisfy your guest(s) during these dog days of summer.

Here’s a quick, easy, and outrageously delicious recipe honoring the peach and where it came from.
