Recipe View 2 mins Finish and Serve: Whisk in the heavy cream. Bring the mixture almost to a boil, then stir in the toasted slivered almonds and sliced green onions. Pour the sauce generously over the seared pork on the platter and serve immediately. (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use dry sherry instead of white wine.
If you don't have heavy cream, half-and-half can be substituted, but the sauce will be slightly thinner.
To toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant, or toast in a skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant.
Serve with steamed asparagus or green beans instead of broccoli for a change of pace.
Pork loin can be substituted for pork tenderloin. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
