Introduction from Mary Berry
Chimichurri is a wonderful, aromatic sauce from Latin America. It isn’t cooked and is great to have in the fridge. It will keep for up to a week in the fridge and is delicious with this pork fillet, but also works well stirred through pasta. The sauce can be made in a food processor, if liked, but keep it chunky. The flavours will infuse and become more pungent over time.
Ingredients
Method
Put all the marinade ingredients into a large bowl, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix well. Add the pork to the marinade and turn to coat. Leave to marinate for 1 hour, or longer if you have time.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C Fan/Gas 7.
Place a frying pan over a high heat until hot. Add the pork fillet and fry until brown on all sides. Transfer to a small roasting tin and roast in the preheated oven for about 18 minutes, or until just cooked through. Cover with foil and set aside to rest.
Measure the sauce ingredients into a small jug or bowl. Season well and mix to combine.
Carve the pork into slices and serve with the sauce on the side.
Mary’s Tips: Pork can be marinaded up to a day ahead. Sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead. The raw pork can be frozen in the marinade.
