Take the pork tenderloin out of the fridge and allow it to reach room temperature. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Pull the thyme leaves off of the stems. Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet along with the thyme. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat. Roast in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden-brown, tossing halfway.
Did you know... baby potatoes are always eaten with the skin on, which means they provide more fibre and vitamins; in particular vitamin B6, which is important for metabolic health.
Discard the tips of the green beans and then cut them in half. Fill a deep frying pan with a shallow layer of water, then add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Slice the onion into half rings, then zest and juice the lemon into a small bowl. Parboil the green beans for 6 - 8 minutes, covered, then drain and rinse under cold water.
Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the pork tenderloin for 10 - 13 minutes until evenly browned, turning regularly. Remove from the pan and set aside under aluminium foil to rest until serving.
In a small bowl, combine the mustard with the honey and extra virgin olive oil, along with (per person) 0.5 tsp lemon zest and 0.5 tbsp lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then set aside.
In the meantime, melt a small knob of butter in the same pan from step 2 and fry the onion with the green beans for 4 - 6 minutes or until the beans are al dente. Take the pan off the heat and stir in half of the lemon dressing.
Cut the pork tenderloin into strips and combine its juices with the rest of the lemon dressing. Serve the pork with the baby potatoes and green beans. To finish, drizzle the rest of the lemon dressing over the pork (see Tip).
Tip: you can also garnish the pork with the rest of the lemon zest if preferred.
