Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin, fat trimmed and cut crosswise into ½-in thick rounds
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Heat over medium-high heat.

Recoat skillet with nonstick spray Add shallots to skillet and sauté 2 minutes over medium heat or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile in a small cup, stir ¼ cup of the pomegranate juice and the cornstarch until blended.
