Burgundy Pepper Pork Tenderloin with Lemon Pepper Linguine & Mixed Greens Nugget Markets signature recipes

Pre-marinated pork tenderloin from our Meat Department pairs beautifully with a simple salad and lemon pepper linguine. 

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 Nugget Market's Burgundy Pepper Marinated Pork Tenderloin
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups linguine, cooked al dente
  • Zest and juice of 1–2 lemons, divided
  • 1–2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper
  • ½ bunch parsley, chopped fine
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 3 cups mixed greens

Preparation

Heat oven to 400°F.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe sauté pan. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until well browned. Place pan in oven and cook for 5–8 minutes, until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before carving.

Wipe out the pan used for the tenderloin and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Heat oil over medium heat, then add the garlic and cook until just beginning to brown. Add the pasta and toss to coat. Add lemon zest, ¾ of the lemon juice and black pepper. Toss with parsley and season to taste with salt.

Toss the mixed greens with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining ¼ of the lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper.

Slice pork into ½-inch slices and serve with the lemon pepper linguine and mixed greens.
