Lean and tender: Roasted Pork Fillet With Cranberries




Pork Filet (Tender loin) is one of the most tender and lean parts of pork meat.
It works very well together with some fruity or sweet ingredients and is a perfect party dish.
Preparing pork fillet is easy and fast, but keeping it moist and juicy can be tricky as it tends to try out soon when overcooked.
Just use your kitchen "Sense and Sensibility" you won't be sorry to prepare this "bocatto di cardenale" an ancient Italian expression that refers to a dish so delicious that it's worth to be served to a Cardenal, known in medieval times for their love of good food.
To prepare this tenderloin
You need:
1 pork fillet , about 500g
2 sprigs rosemary
1 1/2tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 clove crushed garlic
2 tablespoon sweet ground paprika
11/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup dried, sweet cranberries
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to brown the pork
1-2 cups of vegetable broth
Method:

With a sharp knife, remove the white,tough membrane from the meat.

Stir together olive oil, sweet paprika, crushed garlic clove,mustard,cinnamon,salt and freshly ground pepper.
\

 Rub  mixture over the pork.


Heat olive oil in a medium, heavy pan and brown pork with the rosemary sprig and cranberries all over to seal in the juices.


Heat the oven at high temperature 400 degrees (170C) ,pour the vegetable broth over the meat and roast pork together with cranberries and rosemary only 15 to 20 minutes or until just a hint of pink remains. During the roasting process, pour from time to time the mix of vegetable stock and meat juices over the fillet.

Transfer to a cutting board , remove rosemary and let rest for about 5 minutes  before cutting into slices.




Pour juices and cranberries from roasting pan into small sauce pan. Warm over slow heat.
If you prefer a richer sauce ,add some cream.
Serve with fresh,green broccoli and tagliatelle cooked al dente.
Serves 5 to 6.
Enjoy!
See you next week.

    1. Hi John,
      Me too I prefer tenderloin because it's so lean that it's even aloud for people who have to stick to a diet. So- no regrets:)
      Cheers.

  12. The cranberries in your recipe will give a nice tart taste to contrast with the savory pan juices. It's interesting, but in France, when I ordered a Filet Mignon from the butcher, it was actually the expensive cut of pork (not beef).Thanks for sharing!

    1. Hi Abbe,
      me too, I usually don't eat much pork meat except for the tenderloin because it's so lean and delicate.
      Cheers.
