topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 2 small pork tenderloins (350 g each)
  • 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup spelt
  • 2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 orange, cut into 8 wedges
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 0.5 cups lightly salted chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons of honey
  • 2 cups chopped radicchio (about half a head) or escarole
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 minutes. Add the spelt, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Add 1 3/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the spelt is tender, 25 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, rub the pork with rosemary and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and orange segments. Cook, turning the pork and orange segments, until golden brown, 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C), 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pork and orange segments to a cutting board and let rest.
  4. Add the wine to the pan and cook over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid has almost evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and honey and simmer over low heat until the liquid has slightly evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  5. Slice the pork. Add radicchio and parsley to the spelt. Serve the pork with oranges and spelt. Drizzle with the sauce from the pan.
