Exploring New Flavors: Lemon-Rosemary Pork Tenderloin

Hello, foodies! Today, I am excited to share a delicious and unique recipe for Lemon-Rosemary Pork Tenderloin. I was inspired to create this dish by the fresh rosemary growing in my garden and the zesty lemons I had on hand. The combination of these flavors with tender pork makes for a mouthwatering meal that is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

  • pork tenderloin (700g)
  • lemon juice (2 lemons)
  • fresh rosemary (2 sprigs)
  • garlic cloves, minced (3 cloves)
  • olive oil (50ml)
  • honey (30ml)
  • salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)

Kitchen Tools:

  • oven
  • baking dish
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • measuring spoons

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pork tenderloin in a baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Strip the rosemary leaves from the sprigs and chop them finely before adding them to the mixture. Whisk everything together until well combined.

Pour the marinade over the pork tenderloin, making sure to coat it evenly. Allow the meat to marinate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse. Once marinated, place the dish in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the Lemon-Rosemary Pork Tenderloin hot, garnished with extra fresh rosemary leaves for a beautiful presentation.

This dish weighs approximately 900g in total and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 225g and has an estimated calorie count of 300.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some lemon zest over the cooked pork just before serving. It adds an extra pop of citrus flavor that will elevate the dish to the next level.

I hope you enjoy trying out this Lemon-Rosemary Pork Tenderloin recipe and feel free to make it your own by adjusting the seasonings to suit your taste. Happy cooking!
