Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 1.5 - 2 hours Total time: 2 - 2.5 hours Number of servings: 6 Ingredients - 1 kg pork tenderloin - 1 bell pepper (preferably red for color and flavor) - 4 red peppers - Half a root of celery - 1 large onion - 1 head of garlic - Half a jar of mustard (about 250 g) - 1 tablespoon of flour - Olive oil (or other cooking oil) - 1 tablespoon of hot paprika (for a more intense flavor) - Salt and pepper (to taste) - Herbs: rosemary, thyme, bay leaves (fresh for a more intense flavor) Preparation and Cooking Technique Step 1: Preparing the spice paste Start by preparing the spice paste. In a bowl, combine 4-5 peeled and crushed garlic cloves, the herbs (rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves), a tablespoon of hot paprika, salt, and pepper. If you want a more homogeneous mix, you can use a blender to turn these ingredients into a fine paste. Then add the mustard and mix well. This mixture will give a special flavor to the pork tenderloin. Step 2: Marinating the meat Take the 3 pieces of pork tenderloin and tie them with kitchen twine, forming a compact roll. This step is important to maintain the juiciness of the meat during baking. Use the spice paste to thoroughly cover the tenderloin, ensuring that every corner is coated. Let it chill for an hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. Step 3: Preparing the vegetables Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Roast the peppers on the stove or in the oven until the skin blackens. After they cool, peel them, remove the stems and seeds, and cut them into thin strips. Wash and peel the celery, then cut it into sticks. Chop the onion finely. Step 4: Assembling the dish In a baking dish, add a splash of olive oil and place the vegetables: celery, onion, and strips of pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully place the pork tenderloin on top of the vegetables and add half of the roasted peppers, along with half a cup of water. Step 5: Baking Preheat the oven to 160°C. Cover the dish with a lid and place it in the oven for 1.5 - 2 hours. It is important to check occasionally, turning the tenderloin from side to side for even baking. If you notice that the vegetables release too much water, you can remove the lid in the last 20 minutes to allow the sauce to reduce and to brown the meat nicely. Step 6: Finalizing the sauce After the meat is well cooked, remove the dish from the oven. Remove the twine from the tenderloin and place it on a platter. Strain the remaining sauce and mix it with a tablespoon of flour and a tablespoon of water, simmering on low heat for 2 minutes, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Step 7: Serving Transform the remaining peppers into a paste using a blender and serve the pork tenderloin alongside the vegetables, hot sauce, and pepper paste. A glass of red wine at room temperature will perfectly complement this meal. Tips and Tricks - You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots or potatoes, to diversify the dish. - If you like a spicier taste, add hot peppers to the spice paste. - Make sure not to rush during baking; slow cooking will make the meat more tender and juicy. Nutritional Benefits Pork tenderloin is an excellent source of protein, essential for building and repairing tissues. It also contains B vitamins, which help maintain the health of the nervous system. The vegetables add fiber and antioxidants, providing a balanced and nutritious meal. Frequently Asked Questions - Can I use another type of meat? Yes, you can replace the pork tenderloin with chicken or turkey for a lighter option. - How can I keep the sauce thicker? Add more flour to the mixture or let it simmer longer on low heat. - What other recipes can I try? Try making mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad as a side dish. I invite you to try this simple yet impressive recipe and enjoy every bite! Bon appétit!
