Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Rub the pork with a tbsp of oil, add some seasoning, then seal the outside of the meat all over in a hot frying pan. Transfer the pork to a baking sheet, brush the outside with the mustard, then press on half of the tarragon and cook for 20 mins. Remove from the oven and cover with foil for 5 mins.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, cook the lentils in the stock until just tender, about 12 mins, drain, then toss with the remaining olive oil, half the lemon juice and the apple.

  • step 3

    To make the aioli, mix the mayo, garlic, lemon zest and remaining juice and tarragon with some seasoning, then set aside. Slice the pork into thick slices and serve on a platter with the lentils, a bowl of aioli to dip into and some green beans.

Nice and quick - I was only cooking for two so adjusted the quantities to suit. Rather than the mustard and tarragon, I went for whole grain mustard, honey, pepper, a little salt and some thyme. I also added some softened celery and red onion into the lentils. Finally, I used thyme in the alioli…

Very simple and quick recipe with good results; I used half quantities as only two people and it worked well. I would however only recommend 125 - 150g of lentils for two as the 175g was a little too much left over. Overall a great combination of flavours and textures - highly recommended from a…

I used this recipe with about half the pork fillet as it was for 3 of us so played around with the quantities a bit. I used about 1/3rd of a pack of tarragon and this was my limit. I like the flavour but not too strong. The pork was very tasty (also used English mustard). The alioli was pure…
