Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel and finely chop the shallot. Strip the rosemary leaves from the stems and finely chop enough to yield 2 teaspoons. Cut the potatoes into ½-inch cubes.
- On a baking sheet, toss the potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the chopped rosemary and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast until browned and crisp, 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
- Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Season the pork tenderloin all over with salt and pepper. Add to the pan and sear, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 4-8 minutes. Transfer the pork to another baking sheet.
- On the same sheet as the pork, toss the green beans with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast until the pork reaches your desired doneness and the green beans are tender, 10-12 minutes.
- While the pork and green beans roast, make the sauce. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the same pan used for searing over medium heat. Add the shallot and remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary. Cook, tossing, until softened, about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon fig jam, the chicken stock concentrate, ¼ cup water and the balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine and let simmer until thick and saucy, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Let the pork rest for a few minutes after removing from the oven, then slice into thin medallions.
- Divide the roasted potatoes, green beans and sliced pork among plates. Drizzle the balsamic fig sauce over the pork and serve.
Recipe Tips
For extra-crispy potatoes, make sure they are in a single layer on the baking sheet and don’t overcrowd.
Let the pork rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
If the sauce becomes too thick, thin with a splash of water or chicken stock.
