Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
5 tablespoons coarsely chopped dill, divided
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest, divided
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (1 1/2-pound) pork tenderloin
1 pint cherry tomatoes
3 cups (loosely packed) arugula (about 3 ounces)
2 cups cooked whole farro
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup (loosely packed) crumbled feta (about 2 ounces)
Flaky sea salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix garlic, 2 Tbsp. dill, 1 Tbsp. lemon zest, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1 Tbsp. oil, 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, and pepper in a small bowl with a fork to create a paste. Pat pork tenderloin dry and rub with paste.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Sear pork, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, 10-12 minutes. Add tomatoes, then transfer to oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of pork registers 145°F and tomatoes are lightly blistered and softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Meanwhile, whisk remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, and 1 tsp. kosher salt in a medium bowl. Add arugula, farro, peas, feta, and remaining 3 Tbsp. dill and 1 Tbsp. lemon zest; toss well to combine (arugula will wilt slightly when dressed). Gently fold in roasted tomatoes.
  • Slice pork and transfer to a platter; season with sea salt, if using. Serve with farro salad alongside.
  • Do Ahead
  • Pork can be marinated 4 hours ahead; keep chilled. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.

I'm allergic to dill, so I substituted parsley in the crust. It turned out great!

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the pork.
