    Provençal Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Dijon Cream

    Here’s a Provençal Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Dijon Cream Sauce recipe that reimagines French techniques and flavours—think aromatic herbs, creamy mustard sauce, and a golden crust. Perfect for a refined yet approachable meal!  
    *(Serves 4)*

    Ingredients: 
    - 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin  
    - 2 tbsp olive oil  
    - 2 tbsp Dijon mustard  
    - ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs  
    - 2 tbsp grated Parmesan  
    - 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped  

    For the Dijon Cream Sauce:
    - 1 shallot, minced  
    - ½ cup dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc)
    - 1 cup heavy cream  
    - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard  
    - 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves  
    - Garlic mashed potatoes  
    - Haricots verts (French green beans)  
    - Crusty baguette  

    Instructions:
    1. Prep the Pork:
       - Pat tenderloin dry. Rub with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp F N Good Food Big Burger Secret Sauce seasoning and 1 tsp F N Good Food Herbes de Provence. Let marinate 30 minutes.  

    2. Create the Crust:
       - Mix panko, Parmesan, parsley, and 1 tsp F N Good Food Big Burger Secret Sauce seasoning and 1 tsp F N Good Food Herbes de Provence. Brush pork with Dijon mustard, then press the panko mixture onto all sides.  

    3. Sear & Roast:
       - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).  
       - Heat remaining oil in an oven-safe skillet. Sear pork on all sides until golden (~3 minutes per side).  
       - Transfer skillet to the oven. Roast for 15–18 minutes until internal temp reaches 145°F (63°C). Rest for 5 minutes.  

    4. Make the Dijon Cream Sauce:
       - In the same skillet, sauté shallot until soft. Deglaze with white wine, scraping up browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half.  
       - Stir in cream, Dijon, thyme, and 1 tbsp F N Good Food Big Burger Secret Sauce seasoning and 1 tsp F N Good Food Herbes de Provence. Simmer 5 minutes until thickened.  

    5. Serve:
       - Slice pork into medallions. Drizzle with sauce and garnish with fresh thyme.  

    Vegetarian
    Replace pork with portobello mushrooms. Use vegetable broth instead of wine and coconut cream for a vegan sauce.  

    Wine Pairing
    - White: Chardonnay (buttery, complements the cream sauce).  
    - Red: Light Pinot Noir (balances the pork’s richness).  

    Tips
    - Extra Elegance: Finish the sauce with 1 tbsp cold butter, whisked in off-heat.  
    - Leftovers: Slice cold pork for a salad Lyonnaise-inspired lunch.
    Enjoy!
