makes 4 Portions

Ingredients:

Pork:

2 large pork tenderloins, cleaned of silverskin and fat

splash olive oil

50 g crushed, toasted walnuts

tablespoon grainy mustard

s + p

Potatoes:

one bag (or so) New potatoes

olive oil

s + p

season with salt and pepper and olive oil. roast until cooked through and golden brown.

Salsa:

2 corns on the cob

half red onion minced

bunch parsley chopped fine

2 fresh peaches, peeled and small diced

juice of one lime

half a red pepper small dice

s + p

grill off the corn and remove from the cob. combine with the red onion, peaches, parsley, lime juice and red pepper. season with salt and pepper to taste. add some chili flakes if you want too

Finishing:

Heat a pan with olive oil on high heat until smoking. season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper and sear all sides in the hot pan.

Smear the mustard over the pork and top with the walnuts to make the crust. Make sure your pan is oven proof before you start, otherwise use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. cook the pork to your desired doneness. 6-7 minutes at 450F for medium if your pork tenderloin is of average size.

cook the hell out of it if you like well done pork. (yuck) Rest the meat for a good five minutes before serving. this will allow the juices to redistribute and the pork will be even more delicious.

Sthe tenderloin on the bias and allow for half a tenderloin per person.

Either combine the potatoes with the salsa and serve cold, or reheat potatoes and serve hot, giving the dish a nice contrast temperatures.

Garnish with some nice parsley or something

Contrary to what people think, Pork is ok to eat medium and even medium rare. the meat will be very tender and a great deal more juicy than a well done tenderloin.
