They're here!!!! They're here!!! Pixie Tangerines from Ojai are here!!! These bright, sweet little orbs of tangerine deliciousness have arrived in markets - and they are bigger, sweeter and better than ever this year due to the outstanding growing conditions in the Ojai Valley. Needless to say I have been gorging myself since Pixie's are  irresistible. But of course, as a cook, I couldn't simply eat them "as is"... and so I mixed up a little Pixie Tangerine Mojo sauce for a pork tenderloin I was making the the other night. This Pixie tangerine Mojo is both sauce and marinade and the best thing that ever happened to pork! An healthy and easy weeknight recipe that's good enough for company and ready in under 45 minutes! No pixie has ever been sacrificed for a better cause... and thanks to my quick propping, I snapped a photo or two before the pork was devoured - and I am not using that term lightly!! This is, perhaps the EASIEST sauce to make a few minutes chopping up some garlic, shallots and cilantro, a few squeezes of Pixie tangerine juice and a little lime juice for balance and a small slug of good olive oil. Good enough for company and easy enough for a weeknight!! Although these luscious little orbs are terrific on their own, if you are like me and buy more than even a pixie enthusiast can eat here are some other ideas of what to do with these glorious fruits!
