Dill-Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Farro, Pea, and Blistered Tomato Salad

This vibrant dill-crusted pork tenderloin is a standout dish for anyone seeking a fresh, balanced meal. The pork is rubbed with a zesty garlic and herb paste before being seared and finished in the oven alongside sweet cherry tomatoes. As the tomatoes roast, they release their juices, creating a natural dressing that pairs beautifully with the earthy, nut-like texture of the ancient grain farro. It is a sophisticated way to bring bright, Mediterranean-inspired flavours to the dinner table.

Designed for health-conscious cooks, this recipe falls into our balanced nutrition category, providing a lean source of protein and plenty of fibre from the farro and garden peas. The addition of peppery rocket and salty feta provides a lovely contrast to the citrus notes. It is an excellent choice for a midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch, and you can even prepare the pork in its marinade up to four hours ahead to save time.

  • 475ml cooked whole farro

How to make Dill-Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Farro, Pea, and Blistered Tomato Salad

Preheat oven to 218°C. Mix garlic, 2 tablespoons dill, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and pepper in a small bowl with a fork to create a paste. Pat pork tenderloin dry and rub with paste.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Sear pork, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, 10–12 minutes. Add tomatoes, then transfer to oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of pork registers 63°C and tomatoes are lightly blistered and softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile, whisk remaining 60ml olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a medium bowl. Add rocket, farro, peas, feta, and remaining 45ml dill and 1 tablespoon lemon zest; toss well to combine (rocket will wilt slightly when dressed). Gently fold in roasted tomatoes.

Slice pork and transfer to a platter; season with sea salt, if using. Serve with farro salad alongside.

Pork can be marinated 4 hours ahead; keep chilled. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.
