Pork tenderloin with green salsa topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 pork tenderloin weighing 700 g.
- 2/3 cup + 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 cup fresh tarragon leaves
- 3 shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Crustless bread, for serving
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 190°C and season pork generously with salt and black pepper.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until very hot, then add the pork tenderloin. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork until cooked through or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 155°F (65°C), about 15 minutes. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
- While the pork is roasting, place the parsley, cilantro, vinegar, green onions, tarragon, shallots, and garlic in a food processor and pulse until pureed. Slowly, without stopping the food processor, add the remaining 2/3 cup olive oil until you have a thick sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the pork tenderloin and top with salsa verde. Serve with bread for dipping.
