Serving Ideas
This tender pork goes wonderfully with a variety of sides. Creamy mashed potatoes are a natural pairing — their buttery texture soaks up every bit of that delectable Dijon sauce. For a lighter option, fluffy rice pilaf provides a subtle, fragrant base that lets the herbs shine.
Add a pop of color and crunch with roasted vegetables like carrots, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus — caramelized to perfection, they offer a delicious contrast to the tender pork. And to keep the meal balanced, a crisp green salad dressed with a zesty vinaigrette cuts through the richness and refreshes your palate.
