INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Pork Tenderloin
1 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1.5 cups Cauliflower Florets
2 tablespoons Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 teaspoon Butter
1 cup Arugula
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season evenly with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
In a small bowl, mix the unsweetened cocoa powder with a pinch of salt to create a rub. Coat the pork tenderloin evenly with the cocoa rub.
Sear the pork tenderloin in a hot oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil until all sides are browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for about 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from the oven and let rest.
Meanwhile, steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a blender or food processor, add unsweetened almond milk and butter, then blend until smooth and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
For a fresh side, toss arugula with extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
Slice the rested pork tenderloin and serve alongside a generous helping of creamy cauliflower mash and dressed arugula.
