Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 220°C. Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan for the carrots.
- Halve the carrots lengthways or cut any larger ones into quarters.
- Parboil the carrots for 5 minutes, then drain.
- Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly drizzle with olive oil.
- Drizzle the carrots with the honey and season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat. Roast the carrots in the oven for 15 - 18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and roughly chop the parsnip and the potatoes.
- Transfer to the same pot or saucepan and submerge with water.
- Boil for 12 - 14 minutes, then drain and return to the pot.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the pistachios.
- Heat a clean frying pan over high heat.
- Toast the pistachios with the sunflower seeds for 2 - 3 minutes, then transfer to a bowl.
- Crush or mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh herbs, then transfer both to the bowl (see Tip).
Tip: if you don't like raw garlic, fry it with the pork instead.
- Zest the lemon and then cut it into quarters.
- Squeeze a quarter lemon per person directly into the bowl.
- Add some lemon zest and extra virgin olive oil as preferred.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, then mix well to combine.
- Melt a knob of butter in the same frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Fry the pork tenderloin for 2 - 3 minutes per side.
- Cover with the lid and fry for 5 - 6 more minutes, then remove from the pan and set aside under aluminum foil.
- Shortly before serving, slice the pork tenderloin.
- Mash the parsnip and potatoes with a knob of butter and a splash of milk as preferred. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the mash on plates and top with the pork. Garnish with the za'atar.
- Serve the labneh alongside and top with the carrots. Drizzle with the gremolata to finish.
