Our Fiery Fennel spice blend sends this pork tenderloin some Italian inspiration, with hints of fennel, parsley and crushed cayenne. You’ll toss it into a hot pan on the stovetop for some sizzle time, followed by lemon halves that sear to super-squeezable juiciness. Meanwhile, roasted broccoli and Nantes carrots achieve peak tenderness in the oven. Serve the works over a smear of sour cream spiked with salsa verde for a hot, herby, creamy counterpoint.

Preparation
Mise en place
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Halve the carrots lengthwise (quarter if large). Halve the lemon.
Roast the vegetables
On a lined sheet pan, toss the carrots with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 5 to 7 min., until beginning to soften. Remove from the oven and add the broccoli (halve if large), a drizzle of oil and S&P; toss well. Roast, flipping halfway, 14 to 18 min., until browned and tender.
Cook the pork & lemon
Meanwhile, pat the pork dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. In a grill pan (or large pan), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, 5 to 8 min., until partially cooked. Add the lemon, cut-sides down, and sear, turning occasionally, 5 to 8 min., until the lemon is charred and the pork* is cooked through.
Make the salsa verde cream
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the salsa verde, sour cream and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the salsa verde cream between your plates and spread out in a circular motion. Top with the pork (slice beforehand if desired) and vegetables. Serve the lemon on the side. Bon appétit!
