Pork tenderloin & roasted rhubarb
Makes 2-3
400g pork tenderloin
100g pancetta rahers (or streaky becon)
2-3 rhubarb stalks
2-3 tbsp honey
pinch of ground ginger
salt
freshly ground black pepper
Heat the oven to 200 C.
Sprinkle the pork tenderloin with some pepper and salt (not too much - pancetta is salty) and wrap in pancetta. Place in a ovenproof dish and put into the oven.
Wash and dry the rhubarb and cut into 5cm lengths on the diagonal. Place the honey into a pan and warm through. Add rhubarb and ginger and toss until rhubarb is covered in honey. Set aside.
After 10 minutes of roasting the meat add the rhubarb together with the honey into the dish. Roast for further 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven, set aside and leave it to rest for few minutes. Slice and serve with rhubarb and juices from the roasting dish.
I love pork tenderloin! It can be married with just about anything and if cooked well it is so tender and delicious! I am going to have to get some rhubarb! This meal look absolutely wonderful!
ReplyDeleteJoumana, thank you. :) It is very pleasant meat to cook. Traditionally pork is eaten in Britain with apples and in Poland with prunes or dried apricots, so as you can see - many fruits go very well with pork. :)
