    This recipe was pretty easy to put together, and it was good. The only thing I didn't like about it was that this was the first time I used anchovies instead of anchovy paste. They dissolve, but for some reason, the bones ended up bugging me. Anyway, we enjoyed the sweetness and crunch from the bell peppers, and the balsamic at the end finished it off nicely. I served it with some Israeli couscous with garlic, peas and Parmesan.

    Pork tenderloin slices wtih bell peppers and rosemary.
