Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 potatoes
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 pork tenderloins
  • 5 tbsps olive oil divided, 2 tbsps for searing and the other 3 over potatoes
  • 1.5 tbsps coarse sea salt
  • 0.5 tbsp paprika
  • 0.5 tbsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsps oregano
  • 4 twigs rosemary

Instructions

  • Peel potatoes and place them in a bowl of water so they don't brown.
  • Slice lemon in half. Squeeze half over the pork tenderloins and cut the other half in thin slices.
  • Mix salt, black pepper, oregano and paprika. Season the pork tenderloins as thoroughly as you can.
  • Add 2 tbsps of olive oil to Dutch oven and 1 twig or rosemary, place over a stovetop at medium heat. Once oil is shimmey and hot, add pork tenderloins and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  • Start preheating oven at this point, set at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Once pork tende rloins are seared on both sides. slice potatoes to your favorite shape and add them in between the tenderloins to fill all the gaps in the Dutch oven.
  • Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the potatoes. Add some more salt and pepper if desired over the potatoes, not the tenderloins as those are already seasoned. Add the lemon slices and 1-2 rosemary twigs over the potatoes and tenderloins.
  • Bake for 30 minutes then broil for 5 minutes. Give the dish few minutes to cool off then you can slice the tenderloins and serve them with potatoes and your favorite side dishes. Add some of the juices from the Dutch oven over pork slices as they'll serve like gravy to give extra flavor to your dinner. Enjoy:).

Notes

  • We usually get about 8 servings out of this dish since we are a family of 2 adults and 2 children, but if you're considering bigger portion for mostly adults, it could be more like 6 servings. 
  • Additional seasonings you can use are garlic, smoked paprika, marjoram, thyme, za'atar and if you like spicy food I'd add some crushed red pepper. 
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days and warm up as desired in a skillet or microwave.
