Ingredients

10 oz
pork tenderloin, cut from thick end (see tip)
300 g
1/4 tsp
salt, divided
1 mL
1/4 tsp
pepper, divided
1 mL
2 tbsp
lightly packed brown sugar
30 mL
1 tsp
ground cumin
5 mL
1
small head cauliflower, trimmed and cut in florets
1 pkg
baby carrots
375 g
1/2 cup
cooked rice or quinoa
125 mL
1/4 cup
raisins
60 mL
1
shallot, finely diced
2 tsp
finely chopped fresh thyme
10 mL
1 tsp
Dijon mustard
5 mL
2 tbsp
olive oil, divided
30 mL
1/2 cup
chicken broth
125 mL

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450ºF (230ºC). Cut three 10-in. (25-cm) pieces kitchen twine. Set aside. Cut pork along its length, being careful not to cut through the meat so tenderloin opens up like a book. Season both sides of pork with half the salt and pepper. Lay twine on work surface, evenly spaced under the pork (cut-side up).

Step 2

In large bowl, combine brown sugar, cumin and remaining salt and pepper. Add cauliflower and carrots. Mix to coat vegetables. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine rice or quinoa, raisins, shallot, thyme and mustard. Mound rice mixture in a "strip" along centre of pork, using your hands to pack mixture together. Bring up ends of twine on both sides of the pork and knot securely, enclosing the filling.

Step 4

Add half the oil to an ovenproof skillet or roasting pan and set over high heat on stove. Place pork in centre of skillet or pan, tied-side up. Surround pork with cauliflower mixture and drizzle with remaining oil. Add broth to skillet. Turn stove heat off. Cover skillet tightly with foil.

Step 5

Roast pork in preheated oven 20 min. Remove foil and continue to roast until juices run clear or a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of tenderloin reads 145ºF (63ºC), about 5 min. Rest tenderloin 5 min. before slicing to serve.

Tips

Pork tenderloins are tapered. The thickest part is best for roasting whole or slicing into single-serving chops. The thinner end is ideal for slicing into strips for stir-fries or fajitas. From a typical loin, expect to get one roast (approx. 7 in./18 cm) or four chops and enough pork strips to serve four.
