What it lacks in fat—just 3g in each 3-oz serving—pork tenderloin makes up for with a bounty of muscle-sculpting protein.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup farro
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme

  • 2 Tbsp capers, drained
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. Bring farro and 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain farro.

  3. Heat a wok or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add canola oil, and swirl to coat pan. Add pork, and stir-fry 4 minutes. Remove pork from pan; set aside.
