Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups pretzel crackers, finely crushed (1 1/4 cups crushed pretzels)
1/2 cup whole-wheat or all-purpose flour
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons chopped bread-and-butter pickles, plus 24 whole slices
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 small pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
Vegetable oil, for frying
12 slider rolls
Iceberg lettuce leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • PREPARE THE BREADING: Stir the pretzel crumbs, flour, and 1 teaspoon salt together in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Whisk the eggs and mustard in a medium bowl.
  • MAKE A SAUCE: Combine the mayonnaise, chopped pickles, horseradish, and hot sauce in a small bowl.
  • BREAD THE PORK: Cut the pork tenderloin crosswise into 12 even pieces about 3/4 inch thick. Lay the pieces between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet until flattened into rounds roughly 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Press both sides of the pork into the pretzel flour, then dip each piece into the beaten eggs and again in the pretzel flour, until generously coated.
  • FRY THE PORK: Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 375 degrees F). Line a plate with paper towels. Shallow-fry half of the pork cutlets until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared plate to drain. Season generously with salt. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
  • SERVE: Toast the rolls if desired and put a pork cutlet on each roll. Top each piece of pork with 1 rounded teaspoon sauce, 2 pickle slices, and a piece of lettuce.

DIJON-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN HONEY-GLAZED CARROTS RECIPE BY TASTY



Dijon-Crusted Pork Tenderloin Honey-Glazed Carrots Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: dijon mustard, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, kosher salt, ground black pepper, pork tenderloin, olive oil, broccolini, medium carrots, honey, lemon, fresh parsley

Provided by Jordan Kenna

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 ½ lb pork tenderloin
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 bunches broccolini, woody stems removed
8 medium carrots, cute into ½-inch (1-cm) coins
2 tablespoons honey
1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190˚C).
  • In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Dry the pork tenderloin thoroughly with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a square pan over medium-high heat. Add the tenderloin and cook, rotating 90˚ every 3-4 minutes, until golden brown all over (the tenderloin will not be cooked through at this point), about 12 minutes total. Remove the pan from the heat and use tongs to transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board.
  • Brush the mustard mixture evenly over the top and sides of the tenderloin.
  • Add the broccolini to the pan, and toss with the oil until coated evenly. Push the broccolini to the sides of the pan, just enough to make room for the tenderloin, then return the pork to the pan.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and roast, tossing the broccolini halfway through cooking, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the pork reads 160°F (70˚C) and the broccolini is tender, 23-25 minutes.
  • While the pork cooks, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing, until barely tender, about 6 minutes.
  • Drizzle with the honey and continue cooking, tossing often, until the honey is reduced to a thick glaze and the carrots are tender, 2 to 4 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Transfer the square pan to a rack and let the pork and broccolini rest for 10 minutes. Place the tenderloin on a cutting board and cut into ½-inch (1-cm) thick slices.
  • Divide the pork and vegetables among 4 serving plates. Serve each with a lemon wedge and sprinkle with parsley.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To make sure the pretzels are evenly crushed, place them in a large zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin or meat mallet.
  • If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can substitute yellow mustard.
  • To prevent the pork loin from drying out, cook it on a rack placed over a roasting pan filled with water.
  • Let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Serve the pork loin with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
