Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Carrot and Parsnip Puree
This pork tenderloin is incredibly tender and juicy, and the carrot and parsnip puree is the perfect accompaniment. The honey adds a touch of sweetness to the puree, and the milk helps make it creamy and smooth.
This recipe was inspired by a dish I had at a restaurant in Paris. The pork was so tender and flavorful, and the carrot and parsnip puree was so creamy and smooth. I knew I had to recreate it at home, so I experimented with different ingredients and techniques until I came up with this recipe. I'm so glad I did, because it's one of my favorite meals to make now.
Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 45 | Serves: 4
Ingredients
1 pound pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped
1 pound parsnips, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup low fodmap chicken broth
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and place it in a roasting pan.
Rub the pork tenderloin with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast the pork tenderloin for 30-35 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
Meanwhile, place the carrots and parsnips in a large pot of boiling water. Cook until they are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Drain the carrots and parsnips and return them to the pot.
Add the butter, broth, milk, and honey to the pot and bring to a simmer.
Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth.
Serve the pork tenderloin with the carrot and parsnip puree.
Why It Works
The pork tenderloin is roasted at a high temperature, which helps to create a crispy outer layer and a juicy interior.
The carrots and parsnips are cooked in a mixture of chicken broth and milk, which helps to infuse them with flavor and make them tender.
The honey adds a touch of sweetness to the puree, and the milk helps make it creamy and smooth.
