Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork tenderloin.
- Place the pork in a roasting pan and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- While the pork is roasting, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
- Trim the asparagus and cut the radishes into quarters. In the last 10 minutes of the pork roasting, add the asparagus to the roasting pan to cook alongside the pork.
- Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the lemon juice and zest.
- Serve slices of the pork over a bed of quinoa, garnished with roasted asparagus and radishes.
