A Little Love Letter

Today, I’m sharing one of my all-time favorite recipes: tender pork fillet with a crispy Parmesan herb crust, served alongside a silky potato puree and topped with a vibrant gremolata. This dish is a delightful blend of comforting flavors and elegant presentation, perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself to something special. Let’s dive into this tasty adventure!

Start by slicing the pork tenderloin into medallions, ensuring each piece showcases that beautiful herb crust. Arrange them neatly on a bed of creamy potato puree, then generously sprinkle the gremolata on top for a burst of fresh flavor. Pair it with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad to complete this gourmet experience. Trust me, your dinner table has never looked this good!

If you have leftovers (which is rare because it’s so delicious!), store the pork and potato puree separately in airtight containers. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to three days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat gently in the oven or microwave, and don’t forget to add a fresh sprinkle of gremolata before serving.

Ingredients

Units Scale
PORK TENDERLOIN
  • 500 grams pork tenderloin
  • 1 tbsp clarified butter
  • salt
PARMESAN HERB CRUST
  • 10 grams fresh parsley
  • 5 grams fresh chives
  • 2.5 grams fresh rosemary
  • 2.5 grams fresh thyme
  • 20 grams parmesan
  • 20 grams panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 10 grams walnuts
POTATO PUREE
  • 1 kilogramm potatoes
  • 150 milliliters full-fat milk
  • 30 grams butter
  • salt, pepper & nutmeg to taste
GREMOLATA
  • 10 grams fresh parsley
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 4 tbsp Green Apple Oil
  • juice of half a lemon
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • The pork tenderloin should be at room temperature, so take it out of the fridge about 1 hour before cooking.
  • Here is the recipe for the Green Apple Oil. You’ll need about 4-5 tablespoons of it.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. First, prepare the Parmesan herb crust. Finely chop parsley, chives, rosemary, thyme, and walnuts. Grate the Parmesan finely. Mix everything together with panko, Dijon mustard, and melted butter in a medium-sized bowl until you get a crumbly mixture. Set aside.
  2. Finely chop the parsley and place it in a small bowl. Peel the garlic clove, grate it finely, and add it to the parsley. Halve the lemon and add the juice of one half. Now add the Green Apple Oil and mix everything well. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Next, fill a medium-sized pot with cold water. Peel the potatoes, cut them into large pieces, and place them in the water. Boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 150°C / 300°F. Wash the pork tenderloin and dry it well. Trim the meat, removing the silver skin and any white fat with a sharp knife. Rub a little salt all over the meat and set aside.
  5. Heat some clarified butter in a pan and sear the meat on all sides. Remove the meat from the pan and place it on a baking sheet. Spread the herb crust evenly over the entire meat and press it down well. Place the meat in the oven and cook for about 20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches about 55°C / 131°F.
  6. In a small pot or microwave, warm the milk and butter until the butter has melted. Set aside. Once the potatoes are soft, drain the water and pour the warm milk and melted butter over the potatoes. Mash the mixture with a potato masher. Season with salt, white pepper, and grated nutmeg. If you want the mash to be even finer, you can push the potato mixture through a fine sieve. Keep the mashed potatoes warm.
  7. When the meat has reached its internal temperature, take it out of the oven and let it rest for 3-5 minutes. During this time, the internal temperature will rise to about 60/61°C /140/142°F, making it tender and slightly pink inside.
  8. While the meat is resting, divide the mashed potatoes among the plates. After the resting time, cut the meat into thick slices with a sharp knife and place them upright next to the mashed potatoes. Spread the gremolata over the mashed potatoes. Finally, drizzle a little Green Apple Oil on the plate for garnish.

If you’re craving a dish that’s both cozy and sophisticated, this is it. Imagine a creamy, dreamy spread of whipped ricotta topped with an array of vibrant green veggies, crispy fried capers, and sweet caramelized shallots. This delightful combination will transport your taste buds to a place of pure bliss. It’s perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a quiet night in when you want something special but easy to make.

Serve this dish as a stunning centerpiece at your next dinner party or as a comforting solo meal. Spread the whipped ricotta generously over a crusty slice of bread or a crisp cracker, then pile on the fresh, sautéed green vegetables. Sprinkle the fried capers and caramelized shallots on top for that irresistible crunch and sweet-savory finish. Pair it with a glass of chilled white wine or a refreshing herbal tea to elevate the flavors even more.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The whipped ricotta will stay fresh for up to three days, while the green veggies and toppings are best enjoyed within one day to maintain their crispiness and vibrant flavors. Before serving again, give everything a quick toss or reheat gently to revive the textures and aromas.

  • food processor
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • two small bowls
  • small pan
  • paper towels
  • slotted spoon
  • medium-sized pot
  • medium-sized bowl
  • ice cubes

Ingredients

Units Scale
WHIPPED RICOTTA
  • 250 grams ricotta
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste
GREMOLATA
  • 3tbsp - 4 tbsp rosemary oil
  • 10 grams fresh parsley
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1 garlic clove
  • salt & pepper to taste
GREEN VEGGIES
  • 100 grams broccolini
  • 100 grams green asparagus
  • 50 grams frozen peas
TOPPINGS
  • clarified butter for frying
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • rosemary oil

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • Here you’ll find the recipe for the rosemary oil. You’ll need about 4-5 tablespoons of it.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. For the whipped ricotta, put the ricotta cheese in a food processor. Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and blend for 1-2 minutes until creamy. Place in the fridge for later use.
  2. Next, make the gremolata. Prepare a small bowl. Finely chop the parsley and put it in the bowl. Halve the lemon and squeeze the juice from one half into the parsley. Add the rosemary oil, salt, and pepper and grate the garlic clove. Place in the fridge for later use.
  3. Now prepare the toppings. Heat some clarified butter in a small pan. While the ghee is heating, peel and finely slice the shallot into rings. Mix the rings with cornstarch in a small bowl and set aside. Drain the capers and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  4. Once the ghee is hot, add the capers and fry for 1 minute or so until they burst open. Remove from the fat and drain on a paper towel. Next, add the shallot rings to the hot fat and fry until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
  5. Bring water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Meanwhile, trim the ends of the asparagus and remove the tough leaves from the broccolini. Wash both well under cold water and place them on a plate. Prepare a medium-sized bowl with ice water and set it aside. Once the water is boiling, add the asparagus, broccolini, and frozen peas to the pot and blanch for 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them directly into the ice water for a minute. Remove the vegetables from the ice water and place them on a paper towel to drain. If you want to eat the vegetables cold, you’re done. If you prefer them warm, you can briefly sauté them in a pan with some butter or roast them in the oven. I used them cold.
  6. Take a large plate and spread the whipped ricotta in a large circle. Place the vegetables in the center on top of the whipped ricotta. Next, distribute the gremolata over the vegetables and top everything with the fried capers and shallots. For a final touch, drizzle more rosemary oil over the vegetables.

Let’s talk about a game-changer in the kitchen: rosemary-infused oil. This aromatic delight is perfect for adding a burst of flavor to just about anything. With its fragrant, herbal notes, this homemade infused oil can elevate your cooking to new heights. Plus, it’s super easy to make and adds a gourmet touch to your everyday meals.

Drizzle it over roasted vegetables for an instant flavor boost or mix it into your salad dressings for a herby twist. It’s also fantastic as a dipping oil with fresh bread, bringing out the best in both simple and complex dishes. I love this oil in my Green Veggies on Whipped Ricotta with Fried Capers & Shallots.

Keep it in a clean, airtight bottle in a cool, dark place. It’s best to use it within 2 weeks to enjoy the freshest flavor.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 20 grams fresh rosemary

Orange oil is your new kitchen secret weapon. It brings a vibrant citrusy punch to any dish, whether you’re drizzling it over a fresh salad, mixing it into a marinade, or adding a zesty twist to your favorite desserts. This versatile ingredient will elevate your cooking game, making every meal feel gourmet. Plus, it’s super easy to use and store, so let’s dive into the details!

For salads, add a few drops to your vinaigrette for an unexpected burst of flavor. When marinating meats or vegetables, mix in a bit of orange oil to enhance the taste. For desserts, a light drizzle over cakes or fruit salads can make a big difference. Just remember, a little goes a long way – start with a small amount and adjust to taste. I like to combine this oil with these Smoky Boiled Ham Rolls Sweet Potato Mash Pear Compote Beetroot Raspberry Coulis & Orange Oil.

Store your orange oil in a cool, dark place, preferably in an oil bottle, to keep it fresh and flavorful for up to 1-2 weeks. Avoid direct sunlight and heat to preserve its quality.

  • 1 ripe pear
  • 50 milliliters water
  • 25 grams white sugar
  • 1 lemon
BEETROOT RASPBERRY COULIS
  • 100 grams cooked beetroot
  • 50 grams raspberries
  • 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp - 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • salt & pepper to taste

  • 25 grams mixed salad
  • 2 tbsp orange oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • half a fresh chili
  • 2 tsp dried cilantro
  • 1 tsp fresh chives

  • 300 grams sweet potato
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 tbsp full-fat milk
  • salt, pepper & cayenne pepper to taste
TOPPINGS
  • hazelnuts
  • orange oil

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • Here is the recipe for the Orange Oil. You’ll need about 3 tablespoons for this recipe.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • For the pear compote, mix water and sugar in a small pot and simmer over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Meanwhile, peel, core, and dice the pear. Cut zest strips from half a lemon. Add the pear pieces and lemon zest to the pot and simmer for about 10 minutes until the pear is soft but still holds its shape and has a bit of bite.
  • While the compote is cooking, prepare the coulis. In a tall container, finely puree the cooked beetroot and fresh raspberries. Strain the puree through a sieve to catch the raspberry seeds. Season the smooth mixture with honey, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper, and pour it into a squeeze bottle. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Remove the pot with the pear compote from the heat, take out the lemon zest, and add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir and set aside to cool.
  • For the sweet potato puree, fill a small pot halfway with water and set aside. Peel and cut the sweet potato into medium pieces and add them to the pot. Cook until soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the salad dressing in a small bowl. Mix together orange oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, fresh chili, and dried coriander. Set aside. Wash and dry the salad thoroughly and set aside separately.
  • Roughly chop the hazelnuts and cut the chives into small rings. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, warm the milk and butter in the microwave or a small pot until the butter melts. Set aside.
  • Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them with a potato masher until coarse. Add the warm milk and butter mixture and stir well. Season with salt, pepper & cayenne pepper.
  • To plate, place a dollop of the puree on a plate and spread it slightly. Next, add a few drops of coulis beside it. Thickly slice the smoked boiled ham and roll it up, placing it on the puree. Arrange the pear compote lengthwise next to the coulis. Add some salad between the puree and coulis. Top the plate with the remaining dressing, hazelnut pieces, chive rings, and a drizzle of orange oil.
