This is a simple low-calorie Spanish roast. You'll rub pork tenderloin with dried oregano and pan-fry it gently. Instead of gravy, you'll make a salsa verde (green sauce) from fresh parsley, shallot, garlic and olive oil. Served with a sweet and sour stuffed pepper and smoky sweet potato cubes.

Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Dice the sweet potatoes (skins on)
Add the diced sweet potatoes to a baking tray, drizzle them with vegetable oil and scatter the smoked paprika over
Season them with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and put the tray in the oven for 30 min or until cooked through and crispy
2
Meanwhile, cut the red pepper[s] in half and deseed (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon)
Dice the tomato[es]
Peel and finely chop the shallot[s]
3
Add the halved peppers to a baking tray and stuff them with the diced tomato and half of the chopped shallot
Drizzle them with the red wine vinegar
Season them with a pinch of both salt and pepper and drizzle generously with olive oil
Put the tray in the oven for 20-25 min or until they have softened and wrinkled at the edges - these are your sweet and sour peppers
4
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Chop the parsley finely, including the stalks
5
Add the chopped parsley to a pestle and mortar with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil
Grind to a paste, then add the chopped garlic, Dijon mustard and remaining chopped shallot
Stir in 3-4 tbsp olive oil - this is your salsa verde
6
Scatter the dried oregano and a large pinch of salt over a clean chopping board
Pat the pork tenderloin dry and roll it in the salty dried oregano
Heat a pan (preferably non-stick) with a matching lid, with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the herby pork and cook for 2 min, turning occasionally until lightly browned
7
Once the pork has browned, reduce the heat to medium, add a splash of water, cover with a lid and cook for 8-10 min, turning once half way through
Once cooked, transfer the cooked pork to a chopping board, cover with a tea towel and set aside to rest for 3 min
Tip: resting the meat helps it to relax and keeps it juicy!
Once rested, slice the pork tenderloin
