Pork tenderloin with baked cabbage topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 small white cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (2 tbsp melted)
- 2 small pork tenderloins (about 800g total), trimmed
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 260°C. Place the cabbage on a baking sheet, leaving room for the pork. Brush the cabbage with melted butter, season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season the pork with salt, black pepper, and coriander. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until browned, 8 minutes (reduce heat if the pork is burning).
- Transfer the tenderloins to the baking sheet with the cabbage; do not wash the pan. Bake the pork and cabbage together until a thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloin registers 145°F (63°C), 13 to 15 minutes; remove to a cutting board. Continue baking the cabbage until golden brown, another 5 to 10 minutes.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion, and garlic, season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and stir for 30 seconds.
- Add the wine vinegar and sugar, then pour in 1/3 cup of water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the sauce thickens, 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the pork and arrange it on plates along with the cabbage. Spoon the sweet pepper sauce over the pork and sprinkle with parsley.
