Ingredients:

For the Rosemary Crusted Pork Tenderloin:

– 1 Pork Tenderloin (approx. 1–1.5 lbs) – available at Schinkels’ Meat Market

– 2 tbsp olive oil

– 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tbsp dried)

– 3 garlic cloves, minced

– 1 tsp salt

– ½ tsp black pepper

– 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional for added flavour)

For the Creamy Mushroom Risotto:

– 1 tbsp butter

– 1 tbsp olive oil

– 1 small onion, finely chopped

– 2 garlic cloves, minced

– 1½ cups Arborio rice

– ½ cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)

– 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (warm)

– 1½ cups mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button)

– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

– ½ cup heavy cream (optional for extra creaminess)

– Salt & pepper, to taste

– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Prepare the Pork Tenderloin

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. In a small bowl, mix rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil to make a paste.

3. Pat pork tenderloin dry. Rub the rosemary-garlic mixture all over the meat. Optional: brush with Dijon mustard before applying rub.

4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork on all sides (2–3 minutes per side).

5. Transfer to a baking dish or oven-safe skillet and roast for 18–22 minutes or until internal temp reaches 145°F.

6. Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Make the Mushroom Risotto

1. In a large pan, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions until soft (3–4 minutes).

2. Add garlic and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are browned (5–6 minutes).

3. Stir in Arborio rice. Toast for 1–2 minutes, then pour in wine (or broth) and stir until absorbed.

4. Gradually add warm chicken broth, ½ cup at a time, stirring often. Let each addition absorb before adding more (20–25 minutes total).

5. When rice is al dente and creamy, stir in Parmesan, cream (if using), salt, and pepper.

6. Remove from heat and cover for a few minutes to set.

Serve

Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions. Plate alongside a generous scoop of mushroom risotto. Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan.
