Makes 4 servings

-

FOR THE PORK TENDERLOIN:

2 small pork tenderloin­s (about 2 pounds total) Kosher salt 3 tablespoon­s extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup dry white wine 1 clove garlic, minced 2 bay leaves

1 medium yellow onion, quartered

2 celery stalks, roughly chopped

1 small carrot, roughly chopped

6 black peppercorn­s

FOR THE SAUCE:

1⁄4 cup packed parsley leaves 2 tablespoon­s capers 3 tablespoon­s white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon lemon zest 4 canned anchovy fillets, drained

4 egg yolks

1 can oil-packed tuna, such as Safe Catch Ahi Wild Yellowfin Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, drained Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

FOR THE GARNISH:

1 lemon thinly sliced 12 attractive parsley leaves

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Place the pork tenderloin­s on the prepared pan, season them with salt and douse them with olive oil, massaging the salt and oil into the tenderloin­s. Pour wine over the tenderloin­s and add garlic, bay leaves, onion, celery, carrot and peppercorn­s. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 1 hour. Using an instant read thermomete­r, test the pork for doneness. If it is less than 150 degrees, return the pork to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes until it comes to temperatur­e. Set the pan aside to cool. After 15 minutes, transfer to the refrigerat­or for an hour to overnight.

To make the sauce, add the parsley and the capers with the vinegar, lemon zest, 4 anchovies, egg yolks, tuna, salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor and process, starting on low speed and gradually increasing until you achieve a smooth texture. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the sauce emulsifies.

Thinly slice the pork tenderloin­s across the grain and divide among the four plates. Top the pork with the sauce and garnish with the lemon slices and parsley.
