I decided to try this recipe for the first time tonight. I didn't know if we would like it or not, but we both agree 100% that it is amazing and so delicious! It doesn't hurt that it is nutritious as well. :) I served this with some steamed brown rice and steamed mixed vegetables.
Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin
Serves 6
1/4 cup Italian seasoned panko crumbs
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 ½ tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp fresh thyme, leaves only
1- 1 1/2 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed
Sea salt and freshly cracked, pepper, to taste
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp fennel seeds, crushed
1 clove of garlic, minced
Cooking spray
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Coat a baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the panko crumbs, parsley, cheese, and thyme onto a plate, mix until well combined. Rinse off pork tenderloin. Pat dry and then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Mix the mustard, fennel seeds, and garlic together then rub evenly all over the pork tenderloin. Roll the pork tenderloin in the panko mixture until coated really well. Place the pork tenderloin on the baking sheet.
Bake in oven until temperature reads 165 degrees.
*The original recipe says to cook it for 20-25 minutes. It took about 35-40 minutes to finish in our oven.
*I made 3 changes to this recipe:
(1) I omitted the fennel seeds
(2) I used whole wheat italian breadcrumbs to make it a little healthier
(3) I used light grated parmesan cheese.
I think you will be very pleased with this recipe. Enjoy!
