Pork tenderloin in herbs and mustard is an elegant dish of Spanish cuisine that combines the tenderness of meat with aromatic herbs and spicy mustard. Spaniards value simplicity and richness of flavor, and this recipe perfectly reflects the culinary traditions of the country. Grilled pork fillet achieves a rich taste thanks to olive oil, freshly ground pepper, and salt. But the real magic happens when the meat is coated with Dijon mustard and herbs – parsley, dill, chives, and tarragon. After cooling, it becomes even more aromatic, and thin slices are served with a glass of young wine. This recipe not only impresses with its taste but is also perfect for a festive dinner or a cozy family evening, bringing warmth of Mediterranean gastronomy.
