Description

Our delicious herb paste adds massive flavors to this juicy pork tenderloin.


Ingredients

For the Herb Paste

  • 2 Tablespoons (16 g) of pine nuts
  • 3 cloves of garlic (9 g), peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup (32 g) of fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons (10 g) of fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons (5 g) of nutritional yeast
  • 5 Tablespoons (75 ml) of olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Salt, to taste

For the pork

  • 14 oz (400 g) of pork tenderloin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil
  • 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) of reserved Herb Paste

Instructions

  1. To make the herb paste, start by toasting the pine nuts in a hot, dry pan. Remove the toasted pine nuts and add to a mini food processor along with the garlic, basil, parsley, nutritional yeast flakes, and olive oil. Combine to create a smooth paste, scraping down the sides of the bowl several times. Season with lemon juice and salt, to taste. Set aside.
  2. For the pork, preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).
  3. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick pan and brown the tenderloin on all sides. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, use a palette knife or small silicone spatula and spread the reserved herb paste on all sides of the pork tenderloin. Place tenderloin into a casserole dish with a well-fitting lid and bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
  4. Remove from the oven and allow to rest before slicing and serving. If desired, serve with any additional herb paste.
