Herb roasted pork tenderloin with roasted summer vegetables

I recently attended a Pampered Chef party hosted by fellow cake clubber and food blogger Kate Ab and I secummed to the temptation of their legendary stoneware, no its not cheap but given the evangelical way my friend Jo preaches about her stoneware I bought a medium pan.
So far I have been impressed with it non stick features and ease of cleaning and its definitely growing on me. This recipe is a favourite in the Lancashire Food household and uses that undervalued cut of pork - tenderloin and was supplemented with lots of vegetables from the garden.



Ingredients
  • 1 pork tenderloin - trimmed
  • Zest of lemon
  • Fresh Rosemary- finely chopped
  • Fresh thyme - finely chopped
  • Sea Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Courgettes - chunky chopped
  • Olive oil
  • Red pepper - chunky chopped
  • Red onion - peeled and cut in to chunks
  • 2 garlic cloves - roughly chopped
Method
  • Preheat the oven to about 170C
  • Rub the tenderloin with a little olive oil and roll in the lemon zest, rosemary, thyme and salt and pepper
  • Place the tenderloin on the cool stoneware pan
  • Place in the oven 
  • Meanwhile toss the onion, garlic, courgette and red pepper in olive oil until coated
  • Once the tenderloin has been cooking for approx 15 minutes , surround the pork with the vegetables
  • Continue roasting until the pork is cooked and the vegetables are slightly charred
  • Remove from oven, allow the pork to rest for a few minutes before carving

As this recipe features a great herb combination I will be including into Herbs on Saturday hosted by Lavendar and Lovage
