DIJON-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN HONEY-GLAZED CARROTS RECIPE BY TASTY



Dijon-Crusted Pork Tenderloin Honey-Glazed Carrots Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: dijon mustard, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, kosher salt, ground black pepper, pork tenderloin, olive oil, broccolini, medium carrots, honey, lemon, fresh parsley

Provided by Jordan Kenna

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 ½ lb pork tenderloin
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 bunches broccolini, woody stems removed
8 medium carrots, cute into ½-inch (1-cm) coins
2 tablespoons honey
1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190˚C).
  • In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Dry the pork tenderloin thoroughly with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a square pan over medium-high heat. Add the tenderloin and cook, rotating 90˚ every 3-4 minutes, until golden brown all over (the tenderloin will not be cooked through at this point), about 12 minutes total. Remove the pan from the heat and use tongs to transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board.
  • Brush the mustard mixture evenly over the top and sides of the tenderloin.
  • Add the broccolini to the pan, and toss with the oil until coated evenly. Push the broccolini to the sides of the pan, just enough to make room for the tenderloin, then return the pork to the pan.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and roast, tossing the broccolini halfway through cooking, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the pork reads 160°F (70˚C) and the broccolini is tender, 23-25 minutes.
  • While the pork cooks, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing, until barely tender, about 6 minutes.
  • Drizzle with the honey and continue cooking, tossing often, until the honey is reduced to a thick glaze and the carrots are tender, 2 to 4 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Transfer the square pan to a rack and let the pork and broccolini rest for 10 minutes. Place the tenderloin on a cutting board and cut into ½-inch (1-cm) thick slices.
  • Divide the pork and vegetables among 4 serving plates. Serve each with a lemon wedge and sprinkle with parsley.
  • Enjoy!

HONEY-GLAZED CARROTS AND SHALLOTS



Honey-Glazed Carrots and Shallots image

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Christmas     Thanksgiving     Vegetarian     Carrot     Fall     Honey     Shallot     Gourmet     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb carrots (10 medium), cut diagonally into 3/4-inch-thick pieces
1 lb small shallots (12), peeled and trimmed, keeping root ends intact
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup white Port
1/3 cup mild honey
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill (optional)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Spread carrots and shallots evenly in a 12-inch heavy skillet, then dot with butter and sprinkle with salt. Whisk together water, broth, Port, and honey and pour over vegetables. Cover skillet with a lid (or tightly with foil) and simmer over moderate heat until vegetables are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer vegetables with a slotted spoon to a bowl and boil liquid over moderately high heat, uncovered, until syrupy and reduced to about 3 tablespoons, about 15 minutes. Return vegetables to skillet and gently stir to coat with glaze. Sprinkle with dill and chives (if using) and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest carrots. Baby carrots or medium-sized carrots are the best for this recipe.
  • Peel and cut the carrots evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you crowd the pan, the carrots will steam instead of roasting.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender but still have a little bite to them. Overcooked carrots will be mushy.
  • Make the honey glaze while the carrots are roasting. This will give the glaze time to thicken and caramelize.
  • Toss the carrots in the honey glaze as soon as they come out of the oven. This will help the glaze stick to the carrots.
  • Serve the carrots immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Honey-glazed carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give honey-glazed carrots a try.
