Pork Tenderloin with Polenta & Zucchini

Étape 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash the zucchini & cut it into half-moons.

Étape 2

Place the pork on one side of a sheet tray. Add the zucchini to the other side of the sheet tray & drizzle with olive oil. Season the zucchini with salt, pepper & Italian seasoning. Toss well, then spread in an even layer.

Étape 3

Transfer the sheet tray to the oven & cook for 20-25 min at 425°F, or until the pork is fully cooked (internal temp of 145°F) & the zucchini is tender & golden.

Étape 4

Meanwhile, add the chicken broth to a saucepan & whisk in the polenta. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat, then lower it to a simmer & stir continuously until the polenta has thickened, about 3-4 min.

Étape 5

Add the butter to the polenta. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Whisk & cook for 1-2 more min. Remove from the heat & set aside.

Étape 6

When the pork is finished cooking, cover it loosely with foil & let it rest for 5-10 min before slicing it into pieces.

Étape 7

Serve the zucchini & sliced pork over the polenta. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil & extra pepper (optional). Enjoy!
