INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Get ready to treat yourself to a deliciously comforting meal that’s sure to become a favorite in your home. This dish brings together tender cajun shrimp with a sweet and spicy honey glaze, paired perfectly with creamy, cheesy polenta. It’s the kind of meal that feels fancy, but it’s surprisingly easy to make. Whether you’re cooking for a special occasion or just a cozy night in, this dish hits all the right notes.

How to serve
Serve this dish fresh out of the pan, with the shrimp nestled on top of a generous scoop of polenta. For a little extra flair, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and a wedge of lemon on the side to squeeze over the shrimp. It’s great as a stand-alone meal, but you can also pair it with a crisp salad or some sautéed greens for a complete dinner experience.

How to store
If you’ve got leftovers (lucky you!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the shrimp and polenta separately in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth to keep the polenta creamy.

  • thermometer
  • small pot (or microwave)
  • potato masher

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.

ABOUT THE RECIPE

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!

How to serve
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.

How to store
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.

  • Total Time: 1 hr
  • Yield: 250 ml / 1 cup 1x

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • 2 fine sieves
  • oil bottle
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 orange
  • 250 milliliters cold-pressed rapeseed oil

Instructions

  1. Chop the orange in half and put them into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until only tiny pieces of the orange are visible.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat to a temperature of about 102°-103°C (215°-217°F), and maintain this temperature for the next 30 minutes. Stir occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned.
  3. Prepare a bowl large enough to fit a medium-sized pot, and fill it with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over one medium-sized bowl and another fine sieve strainer, with a coffee filter inside it, over another medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to cool the oil quickly. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and let it sit for about 20 minutes so that the oil gets more infused.
  5. After the 20 minutes, pour the oil into the prepared fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.

  • 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.

  • 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.
