A brief history of the recipe Pork tenderloin is a versatile ingredient used in various culinary cultures, often associated with festive meals.

The cherry sauce adds a perfect sweet-sour note, while the rustic potatoes complete this combination with their crispy texture. Ingredients - 1 pork tenderloin (approximately 800g) - 50g flour - 3 tablespoons soy sauce - 100ml red wine - 2 garlic cloves - 1 large onion - 4-5 slices chorizo sausage - 500g potatoes - 2 tablespoons oil (preferably truffle oil for a refined taste) - 1cm fresh ginger - 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar - 1 teaspoon curry - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes - 1 teaspoon sweet paprika - 1 teaspoon sugar - Pine nuts (optional, for extra flavor) Step by step for a perfect result Step 1: Preparing the pork tenderloin 1. Cutting and marinating: Cut the pork tenderloin into slices about 2.5 cm thick. Gently flatten them with the palm of your hand to achieve an even shape. 2. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, red wine, curry, and chili flakes. Add the meat slices, mix well, and let them marinate for one hour. This step will enhance the flavors and make the meat more tender. Step 2: Preparing the rustic potatoes 1. Cleaning and cutting: Wash the potatoes well and cut them into medium-sized pieces. They will absorb all the flavors in the oven. 2. In a baking dish, add the potatoes, sprinkle with paprika, curry, and a bit of chicken broth (or water). Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in a preheated oven at 180°C for 35-40 minutes. Step 3: Preparing the cherry sauce 1. In a pan, heat a little oil and add the chopped garlic cloves and grated ginger. Sauté until they turn golden and release their flavors. 2. Add the two tablespoons of cherry jam and a bit of red wine. Let it simmer on low heat until the mixture reduces and thickens. 3. Finally, add the sugar and sherry vinegar, mixing well. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to combine the flavors. If you desire extra flavor, you can also add a few pine nuts. Step 4: Finalizing the dish 1. Once the potatoes are softened, remove the aluminum foil. Add the chopped onion, sliced chorizo, and a bit of preheated smoked bacon (in a pan) and mix everything. 2. Return the dish to the oven for another 10 minutes until all the ingredients are browned and the flavors have combined. Step 5: Cooking the pork tenderloin 1. Drain the meat slices from the marinade and coat them in flour. In a pan, heat a little oil (truffle oil is ideal) and fry the meat slices on both sides until golden and crispy (about 3-4 minutes on each side). Serving Serve the pork tenderloin slices drizzled with cherry sauce, alongside the flavored rustic potatoes. You can garnish the plate with a few pine nuts for an elegant touch. This recipe is perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion, being a combination of flavors and textures that will surely impress. Frequently asked questions - Can I use another type of meat?
