1 tsp. Herbs de Provence
salt and pepper
1 fennel bulb, stalks discarded, bulb halved, cored, and sliced 1/2 inch
thick
5 ounces frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and patted dry
1/4 cup pitted nicoise or Kalamata olives, halved
1 Tbls. extra-virgin olive oil
6 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
1 Tbls. minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Pat tenderloin dry with paper towels, rub evenly with herbs de Provence, and season with salt and pepper. 2. Combine fennel and 1 Tbls. water in medium bowl, cover and microwave until fennel is softened, 2-3 minutes. Drain fennel well, then toss with artichokes, olives and oil and season with salt and pepper. 3. Arrange vegetables in 8-inch square baking dish. Lay tenderloin on top of vegetables and roast until center of tenderloin registers 145 degrees, 25-30 minutes, flipping tenderloin halfway through roasting. Transfer tenderloin to cutting board and tent loosely with aluminum foil. 4. Stir cherry tomatoes and lemon zest into vegetables and continue to roast with fennel is tender and tomatoes have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir parsley into vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste. Slice tenderloin into 1/4-inch-thick slices and serve with vegetables.

Tips:

  • For the tastiest results, use a high-quality pork tenderloin. Look for one that is firm and pink, with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Make sure to pat the pork tenderloin dry before rubbing it with the herb mixture. This will help the rub adhere to the meat and create a delicious crust.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices in your rub. Some popular options include rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • If you're short on time, you can marinate the pork tenderloin in the herb mixture for as little as 30 minutes. However, for the best flavor, marinate the meat for at least 2 hours, or even overnight.
  • When roasting the pork tenderloin, use a meat thermometer to ensure that it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the meat is cooked through but still juicy.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
