Instructions
1
Prep
Slice pork tenderloin into 16 medallions and pat dry. Smash 12 garlic cloves with skins on. Juice 1 lemon and cut potatoes into 1cm batons. Have whisky, hot stock, parsley, salt, and pepper measured and ready.
2
Fry
Heat 300ml olive oil in a deep heavy skillet over medium-high to 175°C. Fry potato batons 7–8 minutes until deep golden and crisp. Lift onto paper towels, sprinkle 0.5 tsp salt.
3
Sear
Wipe skillet clean, return 60ml fresh olive oil over medium-high 1 minute until shimmering. Season medallions with 1 tsp salt and pepper. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, sear 90 seconds per side until deeply browned and just cooked through.
4
Build
Lift pork to a warm plate. Lower heat to medium, add smashed garlic, cook 90 seconds until pale gold. Pour in whisky, burn off 30 seconds. Add juice from 1 lemon and hot stock, simmer 3–4 minutes until reduced by half.
5
Glaze
Return medallions to pan, turn 60 seconds in the glossy sauce, coating all sides evenly until glazed.
6
Plate
Pile fried potatoes on warm plates, set pork medallions alongside, spoon glossy garlic sauce over the meat, scatter chopped parsley to finish, and serve immediately.
