This blog is the rantings and ravings of a keen amateur cook who is desperate to loose weight by finding and making tasty and interesting food that is low in fat and calories. Along with watching and counting calolries I have also been doing a lot of cardio vascular exercise making sure I more than burnt the calories I am consuming.

Pork tenderloin fillet with a mustard and herb crust
This should serve four and will be around 270 calories per portion
One pork tenderloin fillet around 0.5kg in weight
2 tsp of mustard, I prefer Tewksbury mustard
2 cloves of garlic
1 green chilli
I Wholemeal pitta bread - left out overnight to go dry and stale
1 tablespoon of olive oil
handful of basil
Juice of one lemon
Salt and pepper
Split the pork fillet so it open like a book, keep as one piece of meat but so you can stuff the inside
Seal the pork fillet in a pan, seasoning with salt and pepper and place onto a baking tray with split facing upwards
In a bowl add a third of the basil, some salt and pepper, one crushed clove of garlic and a tablespoon of mustard
Stir mixture up then poor into the split pork
Hold the pork together and flip over so that the split side and contents are face down on the baking tray
Add the clove of garlic and chilli into a food processor with the pitta bread broken up and blend
Add the remaining basil and another tablespoon of mustard and blend again
add half a tablespoon of olive oil and the juice of half a lemon and blend again until it is like a paste
spread this mixture over the top of the pork until it is covered in the crust
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top of the pork
