Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're building a hearty, protein-packed dish with a bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin and a dual-lentil salad base. The tenderloin gets seared, glazed with a mustard-mango combo, then rested in foil while you cook the lentils and fold in crispy ham, pickles, and fresh herbs for a refreshing contrast.

Prepare the meat

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Using a sharp knife, trim away any silverskin from the pork tenderloin. Rinse the meat and pat it thoroughly dry.

Season it

Mix together sugar, salt, paprika and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork tenderloin, on all sides. Wrap the seasoned tenderloin snugly in slices of streaky (English) bacon, securing it with toothpicks so the bacon doesn't unravel.

Sear it

Heat oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pot (the one you'll be roasting it in) and sear the bacon-wrapped tenderloin on all sides until nicely browned. The outside should caramelize lightly, not burn — this should take about eight minutes.

Coat it in the glaze

In a bowl, mix mustard with the mango chutney. Brush this mixture generously all over the seared tenderloin. Cover the pot and place it in the oven, preheated to 160°C, for 10 to 15 minutes.

Wrap in foil

Take the tenderloin out of the pot, remove the toothpicks, and wrap it tightly in foil. Let it rest for another 15 minutes. During this time it will finish cooking through gently, which also stops the juices from running out.

Warm or cold

Serve warm or cold, sliced.

Cook the lentils

Cook both types of lentils until tender. Drain, season with salt, and let them cool slightly or completely, depending on whether you want a warm or cold salad. Stir in the sprouted lentils and mix well.

Fold everything together gently

About this recipe

You'll fall in love with all sorts of lentil salads. Add herbs, vegetables, cheese, olives… and other tasty bits, and you get a slightly different dish every time. That means you can improvise and throw together whatever-you-have-on-hand salads, warm or cold. The base, though, is always at least two kinds of lentils. In our house we love traditional brown lentils, but also French green lentils or red lentils.
