Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lemon, halved and thinly sliced
2 (1 pound) pork tenderloins
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup uncooked orzo pasta
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 bunches Swiss chard, chopped
⅛ cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss lemon slices and pork tenderloins with 4 teaspoons oil in a large bowl. Place pork on the prepared baking sheet, surrounded with lemon slices. Season pork with salt and pepper.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until slightly pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • While pork is roasting, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add chard; cover, and cook until tender, about 7 minutes.
  • Add cooked orzo and roasted lemon slices to the chard mixture; toss to combine. Serve with the pork.

The pork was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the orzo was perfect. I would recommend cooking the pork for a shorter amount of time next time.

Not a fan. The pork was dry and the orzo was bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste. The lemon flavor was overwhelming and it overpowered the other flavors. I would recommend using less lemon next time.
