Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 25g (1 oz/1/2 cup) dried cep or porcini mushrooms
- 15ml (1 tbsp) oil
- 25g (1 oz) butter
- 2 pork fillets (tenderloins), weighing around 450g (1 lb) each
- 6 garlic cloves
- 10ml (2 tsp) balsamic vinegar
- 45ml (3 tbsp) Marsala
- several fresh rosemary sprigs
- 10 juniper berries, crushed
- salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan 170°C/350°F/gas 4). Trim the pork fillet, removing any fat or sinew from the outside.
- Put the dried mushrooms in a bowl and just cover with hot water. Leave to stand.
- Heat oil and butter in a frying pan, add the fillets and cook until lightly browned all over. (Retain the cooking oils in the pan.) Remove and place in an oven-proof dish and bake for 15 minutes for medium to well-done or 20 minutes for well-done. Leave in a warm place for 10 minutes before slicing in 2.5cm (1 inch) diagonal wedges.
- Meanwhile, fry the garlic gently in the pork fillets’ fat and juices in the pan for a few minutes.
- Add the vinegar, Marsala, rosemary, juniper, mushrooms and the juices to the pan and simmer gently until reduced and the pork is cooked. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve with noodles and steamed greens.
- If you like sauce, double up on the sauce ingredients.
