Ingredients
Scale
For the pork tenderloin
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pork tenderloin
- 8 slices Bayonne Ham (about 4 ounces)
For the asparagus
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, woody ends trimmed at the bottom
- 3 tablespoons creme fraiche
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt (we use Maldon)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
For the pork tenderloin
- Combine the rosemary, salt and pepper in a bowl and stir in the olive oil.
- Brush the oil mixture all over the pork tenderloin.
- Lay the slices of Bayonne Ham on a sheet of parchment paper so that they are overlapping each other by about a half-inch.
- Lay the pork tenderloin at the bottom of the sheet, and then roll the paper around the meat. Remove the parchment—the meat should be tightly wrapped with the Bayonne Ham.
- Put the tenderloin onto a rack (we use a cookie cooling rack) over a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 140°degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the meat roast.
- Remove from the pork oven and let rest for ten minutes. Slice into one-inch rounds and serve.
For the asparagus
- Stir the creme fraiche, lemon juice and salt together until smooth.
- Add 1 inch of water to a large skillet and bring to a boil. Add asparagus, cover, and cook for 5-10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the asparagus), until tender when poked with the tip of a knife.
- Remove asparagus from skillet and arrange on a platter. Spoon the creme fraiche mixture over top and garnish with the chives, sea salt and black pepper.
