Recipe Pork Tenderloin with Dukkah
1.5oz (3 heaping tablespoons) of Dukkah
2tbsp Olive Oil
1/8c Calvados or Apple Juice (preferably unfiltered)
1/2c of water
1/2c of water (to make sauce)
Pre-heat Oven to 350°F.
Coat the tenderloin entirely in Dukkah, rubbing it in where necessary.
Heat the oil in an oven proof shallow pan. Sear the tenderloin on all sides. (Be wary of popping sesame seeds, you may want to cover it while searing). Turn off the heat, pour the Calvados over the tenderloin. Then add the water to the pan, adding any remaining Dukkah, and swirling it around to pick up stuck bits.
Cook in the oven until the internal temperature is 150°F. Remove the pork from the pan.
Sauce: Add 1/2c of water to pan drippings, (scrape up any stuck bits). The result should be that you should have a slightly runny sauce. Add water to taste. To thicken, put back in the oven for 10 minutes.
Wait at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Serve with saffron rice and vegetables.
