Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pork fillets (350g/12oz each)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
150ml olive oil
grated zest of 1 lemon
100g fresh flat-leaf parsley
50g basil leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to fan 160C/ conventional 180C/gas 4. Make the herb paste by blitzing the olive oil, lemon zest, parsley and basil in a food processor, adding black pepper to taste. Set aside. Trim the pork fillets of any membrane, season and brush with the 2 tbsp olive oil.
  • Heat a dry, heavy-based frying pan, then sear the fillets over a high heat until nicely coloured all over. Transfer to a roasting tin and roast for 30 minutes.
  • Brush the roasted fillets with mustard, then smother with the herb paste (hands are fine for this). Slice the fillets on the diagonal and serve with creamy potatoes and a green veg.
