Ingredients
1 bunch Tuscan kale, stems removed, sliced into ribbons (about 7 cups)
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup dried currants
1 ounce finely grated pecorino (1/4 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup quinoa, well rinsed
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), tied
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss kale with 4 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, currants, and pecorino; season with salt and pepper and set aside. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast, flipping once, until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.
In a pot, bring quinoa, 3/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until tender, 15 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork; transfer to a plate to cool.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high. Generously season pork with salt and pepper; sear, turning occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer to oven and roast until a thermometer reads 145°F, 8 to 10 minutes.
Transfer pork to a cutting board; let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Stir potatoes and quinoa into kale salad and serve with pork.
