PREPARATION:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Pat tenderloin dry with paper towels.
  • Toss brussel sprouts with 2-3 Tbsp oil and season with salt. Spread onto a sheet pan and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender. Toss with the honey harissa glaze when they’re hot out of the oven!
  • Slice apples and onion into wedges.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Place pork in the skillet to sear, about 5 minutes each side. When nicely browned, transfer to a plate.
  • Add a touch more oil to the skillet and sauté apples and onions with a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally until browned. Pour cider into skillet to deglaze, scraping up the brown bits.
  • Nestle the pork back into the pan with the apples and onions to roast uncovered in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the temperature comes to 145°F.

 

  • Warm polenta in the microwave with the lid slightly askew to allow steam to escape, then mix in desired amount of shaved parmesan.
