Preparation:
1. Prepare the side dish:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Clean and cut the potatoes : peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges. Season with 1 tablespoon of oil, salt, pepper and rosemary. Spread them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
- Prepare the carrots : Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks. Season with the remaining oil, salt, pepper and rosemary. Add the carrots to the same pan as the potatoes.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy and the carrots are tender.
2. Cook the pork tenderloin:
- Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Brown the pork fillets : salt and pepper to taste, then cook them in the pan for about 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside (if you prefer, you can use a kitchen thermometer for more precise cooking; the pork should reach 63°C on the inside).
- Remove the pork tenderloins from the pan and let them rest under aluminum foil for 5 minutes.
3. Prepare the chili cream:
- Combine the chili paste with the cooking cream in a small saucepan.
- Heat over low heat, stirring constantly to blend the flavors. Add the olive oil and season with salt.
- When the cream is well blended and hot, remove from the heat.
4. Composition of the dish:
- Place the pork fillets on serving plates.
- Pour the hot chili cream over each fillet, making sure to cover the meat evenly.
- Serve with the side of baked potatoes and carrots , arranging them next to the fillet.
Suggestion:
If you want an even tastier dish, you can add a sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese on the chili cream before serving.
