Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Saucepan
  • Large Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup farro
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 crisp apples, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 large fennel bulb, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the farro under cold water. Place it in a saucepan with 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water and set aside.
  • Heat a grill to medium-high. Rub the pork tenderloin with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper. Grill the pork for 15 to 18 minutes, turning every few minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples and fennel. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
  • Divide the cooked farro among four plates. Top each with slices of grilled pork and a generous portion of the apple-fennel salad. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Slice the apples and fennel right before tossing the salad so they stay crisp. If the fennel fronds look fresh, chop a few and mix them in with the parsley for extra flavor. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat the pork gently in a skillet with a splash of water to avoid drying it out.
