Recipe tips:
Use chicken breasts or pork chops instead of pork tenderloin for an easy substitute. Stir in 1 cup sliced asparagus during last 10 minutes of roasting.
1
Preheat oven to to 425°F. Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat and brown pork evenly on all sides, turning as needed. Remove from pan and set aside.
2
Melt remaining butter in same skillet and cook onion and garlic over medium heat for about 8 minutes or until onion is golden brown, stirring occasionally. Stir in wine and reduce heat to low and simmer, scraping brown bits off sides of pan. When wine has reduced by half, stir in lemon juice, Mutti® Cherry Tomatoes, rosemary and thyme and return to a simmer. Cook until the mixture reduces slightly. Return the pork tenderloin to the pan and transfer skillet into oven.
3
Roast for about 15 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in center of pork reads 145°F. Transfer to a cutting board and allow pork to rest for about 5 minutes. Stir lemon zest into the roasted tomatoes and onions and adjust seasoning, if desired, with salt and pepper. Serve sliced pork with roasted tomatoes and onions over mashed potatoes or toss vegetables with hot cooked pasta and serve as a side dish with the sliced pork. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and crumbled cheese gorgonzola.
This Tuscan pork tenderloin brings together juicy pork, aromatic herbs, white wine and bright citrus in a dish that feels both rustic and refined. Rosemary, thyme and garlic build the savoury base, while lemon adds freshness and keeps the flavours lively.
Mutti Cherry Tomatoes roast alongside the pork, onion and herbs, releasing their juices into the white wine sauce as they cook. Their naturally sweet tomato flavour balances the richness of the meat and creates a vibrant accompaniment for every slice of roasted pork tenderloin.
Serve the sliced pork with mashed potatoes to soak up the tomato and wine sauce, or pair the roasted tomatoes and onions with hot pasta for a more distinctly Italian-style meal. Either way, this easy dinner recipe turns a few simple ingredients into a generous, flavourful main course.
