Ingredients

  • Kroger® Fresh Natural Pork Tenderloin 1 lb $3.99/lb
  • Organic Carrots Bunch 1 bunch $2.99
  • Green Cabbage 3/4 lb $0.59/lb
  • Shallots 1 small $4.49/lb
  • Garlic 2 cloves $1.50
  • Kroger® Fresh Lemons Bag 1 lemon $4.99
  • Parsley 1 tbsp $1.69
  • Hot honey 2 tbsp
  • Butter 1 tbsp
  • Olive oil 2 tbsp
  • Dijon mustard 1 tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Trim carrots and halve lengthwise if thick. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast 20-25 minutes until caramelized.
  2. Slice pork tenderloin into thick medallions or keep whole for a more formal presentation. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Whisk together hot honey, 1 tsp lemon juice, a little zest, and Dijon mustard.
  4. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Brush with the hot honey glaze and transfer skillet to oven if oven-safe, or move pork to a small pan. Roast 8-12 minutes until just done, then rest 5 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, thinly slice cabbage and shallot. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter with a little oil. Add shallot and cook 2 minutes. Add cabbage, salt, pepper, and a splash of water; sauté 5-7 minutes until silky but not mushy. Stir in minced garlic for the last 30 seconds.
  6. Slice pork and plate over a small mound of warm cabbage. Arrange roasted carrots artistically to the side. Spoon any glaze and resting juices over the pork, then finish with chopped parsley and a tiny squeeze of lemon.
