This is a super simple pork recipe that is totally delicious and it is also healthy and low in carb’s too. I served ours with french fries because I knew my son would prefer that, but just serving as is with some vegetables for a lower carb version. I use greek yogurt for the sauce and like to add some garlic liquid seasoning to it for added zing. The combination of the garlic pork with the tarragon sauce is really tasty and I know for us we really enjoy it and it is also a no fuss meal to make for me.

Ingredients
500g Pork tenderloin
3 Garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
Salt and Pepper to season
Paprika
1/2 Cup plain fat-free yogurt
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 Teaspoons dried tarragon leaves (I used 2 tablespoons of fresh my preference)
2 Teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Method
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Place pork on a baking sheet. Cut 1/2-inch slits in pork and place garlic slices in each slit I do 2 to each slit.
3. Season with salt, pepper and paprika.
4. Bake 22-24 minutes or until just barely pink in the center.
5. When pork is cooked, place on cutting board and let stand 3 minutes before thinly slicing on the diagonal.
6. Just before pork is done, combine remaining ingredients except oil in a small saucepan. Cook 2-3 minutes over medium heat or until just heated through. Do not bring mixture to a boil.
7. Remove from heat, stir in oil. ( I used some of the pan drippings for this instead for added flavour.

Here are the recipes for the two sides I served with my Spicy ostrich roast these were both recipes I tried for the recipe swap I am in and both were really good. I have made both twice and they have been enjoyed by all on each occasion. Ti view more photos and reviews of the pumpkin recipe click here. For the Cabbage recipe click here.
Spicy Roast Pumpkin

2lbs Fresh pumpkin, peeled & seeded
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 Teaspoon ground cumin or cumin seed (I have made it both ways and they are both good)
Method
1. Pre-heat oven to 200 C or 400°F.
2. Quarter and then carefully peel and seed the pumpkin.
3. Cut into chunky 2″ cubes.
4. Place pumpkin into a large & sturdy roasting tray.
5. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper & cumin – mix well, making sure that all the pumpkin pieces are coated in olive oil.
6. Bake in the oven for about 30 to 45 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft & also tinged brown at the edges.
Serve with a main meal as the vegetable dish OR freeze for future savoury pumpkin recipes. I also make soup from this – as well as pasta dishes too.
