Ingredients
Pork and Vegetables
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil divided
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika omit for nightshade-free
- 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 pound asparagus cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 pound cherry tomatoes omit for nightshade-free and double the asparagus
Dill Sauce
- 2 ounces sour cream or Kite Hill cream cheese for dairy-free
- 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 sprigs dill minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- pickle juice or water as needed to thin the sauce to a drizzle consistency
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, and grease it with a bit of olive oil. Set aside.
- Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper, rub with the tablespoon of olive oil then sprinkle with paprika and coriander. Place the pork on the baking sheet.
- Toss the tomatoes and asparagus with a generous pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Spread the vegetables around the pork and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork registers 145ºF.
- Rest the pork at least 5 minutes before serving. If the vegetables are not yet caramelized, return to the oven and cook another 5-10 minutes.
- While the pork is cooking, prepare the sauce. Stir together all the sauce ingredients, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and vinegar, as needed.
Notes
If making this dairy-free, warm the Kite Hill cream cheese with a bit of chicken broth, water, or pickle juice to thin to a sauce consistency.
