Pork tenderloin and sweet potato dinner

Made a quick dinner last night with some minimal prep work and no nonsense cooking.

Adrian said he really loved this meal which is not usual.

Pork Tenderloin
-Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
-Season pork tenderloin with sea salt, black pepper, cumin & herbes de provence.
-Score tenderloin.
-Insert chopped garlic in scored slots.
-Pan sear in canola oil for 10 min, browning each side.
-Place in oven for another 15 min at 400 degrees.

Sweet Potato & Apples
-Pre-heat oven to 375
-Chop up sweet potatoes, granny smith apples and carrots into cubes.
-Add brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
-Top with a few pieces of butter and sprinkle with some maple syrup, and half cup water to help soften.
-Bake at 375 for 45 min.

I served the pork with bulgar wheat, mixed with fresh parsley, red onion, tomato and cucumber and arugula.
