Roasted pork with tomatillo sauce. Pork, tomatillos and green chilies is one of those combinations that just work beautifully.

If you have the tomatillo salsa on hand, roasted pork with tomatillo sauce is a quick and easy meal. The salsa darkens as it cooks in the rendered pork fat. The sauce picks up the flavours of the meat to really come together nicely. I used pork tenderloin because I was jammed for time but you could do it with a small pork loin as well. Just up the amount of tomatillo salsa you use to line up with the amount of meat you are preparing.

Pork piccata is a nice alternative to the ubiquitous chicken. Tender pork tenderloin comes together with lemon, capers and a bit of butter.

Pork piccata is a great alternative to the more obvious chicken piccata. It’s easier to prep. It’s less likely to dry out. And it has more flavour. What is not to love here?
