One-Pan Pork Tenderloin with Potatoes, Tomatoes and Spinach
Recipe from Food Network
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pork tenderloin, trimmed (about 1 pound 2 ounces)
- 3/4 pound baby potatoes, halved if small or quartered if larger
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 lemon
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon capers
- Chopped fresh parsley, optional, for garnish
Method
- Mix the cumin, allspice, turmeric, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, and a generous amount of pepper in a large bowl. Add the pork and coat it thoroughly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork in the center of the pan, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
- Toss the potatoes with the garlic, remaining tablespoon of oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Thinly slice half the lemon, quarter those slices, and mix them with the potatoes.
- Arrange the potatoes along one side of the pork. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook without stirring for 7 to 9 minutes, until the potatoes are almost tender.
- Put the tomatoes, spinach, capers, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper on the other side of the pork. Cover and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender, the tomatoes begin to burst, the spinach wilts, and the pork reaches 150°F.
- Toss the tomatoes, spinach, and capers together. Rest the pork on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then slice it. Serve with the vegetables, lemon wedges, and parsley if desired.
