[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My easy dinner party meal is pork tenderloin. I buy around a half pound per adult, which would probably be around 2-3 pieces. Season with lemon juice and olive oil, mustard, or whatever rub you like (I usually do Greek-ish - garlic, oregano, olive oil, lemon) and throw it in the oven. You can marinate ahead of time if you remember, but if you forget that’s okay too. It also cooks fast because it’s long and thin.

This goes well with basically any carb - I’ve done cous cous, roasted or mashed potatoes, risotto, rice pilaf, orzo, quinoa salad, etc. Plus a big tray of roasted veggies or a green salad, or both, depending on your preference. I am not a baker/dessert person, so I either buy a dessert, serve fruit and ice cream, or make Ghirardelli brownies from the box. [/quote]

I would never do pork for a large group.  A lot of people don’t eat it, be it religious or cultural (my atheist Middle Eastern born spouse won’t eat it) or a personal dietary choice [/quote]

People know their crowds. While you don’t serve pork many other people do. There isn’t a right answer here.[/quote]

+1 OP didn't say it was for a large crow. They specifically stated it would for 4 adults and 4 kids. Basically hosting one family. It would be easy to figure out if pork wouldn't work or not. [/quote]
