Ingredients
1 large pork tenderloin (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/4 teaspoons ground turmeric
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 golden beets (about 12 ounces), peeled
2 carrots, peeled
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
1/4 cup roasted unsalted pistachios, roughly chopped
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Season the pork generously with salt and pepper; rub all over with 2 teaspoons coriander and 3/4 teaspoon turmeric. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes total. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 teaspoons coriander and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, the vinegar, honey and remaining 6 tablespoons olive oil until smooth. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the dressing into a small bowl and set aside.
- Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the golden beets and carrots into the bowl with the remaining dressing. Add the red onion, cilantro, pistachios and 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss well.
- Slice the pork and drizzle the reserved dressing on top. Serve with the carrot-beet salad.
