Shopping ’round here is great. Sometimes frustrating, sometimes exciting. Like the other day when I found blueberries in the shop and ended up making Coconut Blueberry Muffins. Well, over the weekend, I found blackberries (same shop, in fact) so I bought those and figured, as I’ve still got a fridge full of Bacon Chocolate Muffins, I didn’t really need more dessert type items.
I went with savoury. I had a pork loin in the fridge, so I stuck that in a container and smashed the blackberries ’round it and left it to marinate overnight.
Blackberry Pork Loin and Feta Roasted Broccoli
Ingredients
Instructions
-
The day before, marinate your pork tenderloin in the blackberries. Smash up a few and smear it all over the pork then stick it in the fridge.
-
Preheat the over to 200*C.
-
In an oiled baking tray, lay your pork, cover with the blackberries and marinade and then scatter the roughly chopped onion around.
-
In another tray, cut your broccoli into small florets, throw about a tablespoon or so of olive oil on it and some sea salt and black pepper.
-
Stick both trays in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes.
-
After 30 minutes, take the broccoli out, stir it about a bit, then scatter the chopped up feta over the broccoli and put back in the oven.
-
Take the pork out of the oven and put the loin on a chopping board to rest while you make the sauce.
-
Stick your baking pan on the hob on low, pour in 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and scrap all the lovely onions, blackberries and pork juice about. Then add in your 4 tablespoons of stock and bring to a little boil.
-
Then cut the pork into thick slices, and spoon some sauce on top.
-
Serve with the Broccoli and Feta.
Where is the marinade in this recipe? Dying to try it.
I didn’t explain that very well, did I? I just stuck the pork loin in a bowl and smashed and rubbed the blackberries ’round it and left it in the fridge overnight. Messy – but works! 🙂
Got a freezer of blackberries, and some tenderloins also.Gonna try it shortly.Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Awesome! Let me know what ya think. Have a great Christmas!!
I picked a gallon sized bag of wild black berries in the woods this summer and have been looking for ways to use them. Thank you!
