Marley Spoon; An oldie but a goodie, Marbella is a 1970's recipe that will never go out of style. The original recipe channels Spanish and Moroccan flavors into a meat dish with olives, prunes, white wine, and capers. We put our spin on it, using pork tenderloin, with Castelvetrano olives, dried figs and oregano, and garlic. The result is a luxe sweet and savory sauce that guarantees you'll be a member of the clean plate club.
