Mustard-Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin

Dinner parties are always so much fun, but you don't want to spend the entire time in the kitchen.  This is an easy meal that you will not need to tend to the entire time and that comes out juicy and delicious!  I paired this meal with the potato fennel gratin and green beans.  It was a delicious combination!  Don't forget to end this meal with chocolate lava cake!


Serves 8


3 1-1.5lb Pork tenderloins

4 Tb whole grain dijon mustard
2 Tb parsley
4 minced garlic cloves
1 Tb. fennel seeds
1 tsp. thyme
pepper 
kosher salt
1-2 Tb olive oil


Mix all ingredients, except for the salt in a large freezer bag.  Place pork in bag.  Mix around and make sure the pork is covered in the herbs and mustard marinade.  Add more ingredients if needed.  Marinate overnight.  


Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.  Before placing in oven, sprinkle kosher salt on pork.  Bake for 50-55 minutes.  Let rest for 10 minutes.  I also baked for garlic heads in olive oil that was not only used as a garnish for the pork, but is great to spread the soft garlic cloves on fresh bread.  Enjoy :)
