Introduction
Herbs roasted pork tenderloin.
Finally back in my kitchen. Tonight’s dinner is an all-in-one meal. The result is incredible. This is a recipe adapted from Charlie Trotter. No one crumb was left on the plate.
I never put parsley on the potatoes, but it sure is a nice change from the rosemary.
