Pork Fillet with Roasted Vegetables

A classic Sunday lunch - roast and baked potatoes - can be transformed into an even tastier and much quicker meal with just a few additions. Instead of the traditional roast, we choose pork tenderloin, add some selected spices and tangy apples, and bake everything in the oven. We hardly need any side dishes, but we wont miss anything if we serve the dish with a delicious coleslaw salad.

Ingredients

  • 800 g Potatoes, white

  • 2 piece Onion, raw

  • 4 pods Garlic, fresh

  • 2 spoons Oil, olive

  • 600 g Meat, pork, pork fish

  • 2 teaspoons Spices, thyme, dried

  • pieces Lemon zest, fresh

  • 2 piece Apple, fresh

  • 400 ml Soup base, chicken, cube

  • pieces Salt, table

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Thoroughly wash the potatoes under running water (scrub if necessary) and cut them into smaller pieces (smaller potatoes can be left whole or halved). Peel the onion and cut it into wedges.

  2. Place the potatoes, onion, and unpeeled garlic cloves in a large deep baking dish. Drizzle everything with a little olive oil, season with pepper and salt, and mix well with your hands.

  3. On a shallow plate, mix the spices, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the grated lemon zest. Rinse the pork fillet under running water and dry it well with paper towels. Coat it in the spice and lemon zest mixture and place it on top of the vegetables in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. You can turn the pork fillet halfway through baking to ensure it browns evenly on both sides.

  4. Wash the apples and cut them in half. Remove the stems and cores, then cut them into wedges. Add the wedges to the baking dish with the vegetables and meat, and pour in the hot broth. Bake everything for another 15 to 20 minutes.

  5. Cut the roasted meat into thicker slices and serve on plates along with the roasted vegetables and apples. Drizzle with a little of the sauce that formed in the baking dish during roasting and serve the prepared dish.

Advice

Part of the potatoes can be replaced with other root vegetables (parsnip, carrot, parsley) or squash if desired. The pork tenderloin can also be baked for a shorter time. It should be baked for at least 30 minutes, so it can be added to the baking dish after 20 minutes of roasting the vegetables.
