Pork Tenderloin in Creamy Mustard Sauce

My plans for an elaborate Friday night dinner were foiled by a migraine and the tail end of a cold. Instead of a fancy dish that took hours, dinner became a game of what can we throw together quickly that doesn't involve leaving the apartment. This recipe fit the bill perfectly and helped finish off the scallions that had been bought earlier in the week. The original recipe calls for pounding out the pork to 1/4" thickness after it's cut, but that seemed like way too much work even though it would've cut down the cooking time some. I also substituted vermouth for the dry white wine. The finished dish was a rich dish without an overwhelming mustard flavour. Next time, I might add some pasta to soak up more of the sauce.
