Hungarian Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Potatoes and Cabbage

 A chilly winter-time day calls for comfort food: 
potatoes and cabbage roasted alongside
pork tenderloin for a tasty meal. 

I’m a big fan of pork tenderloin, it’s an excellent cut of meat for cooking, simply because it’s versatile, fairly inexpensive, tasty and friendly with a wide variety of spices...


If there’s one ingredient that Hungary is undoubtedly associated with, it’s paprika, for sure.  Hungarian paprika is more than just a pretty color, it’s more complex that your basic grocery store paprika.

Ready for oven

Hungarian sweet paprika is dusty red and quite silky in texture.  There’s no heat or pungency with this spice, only a musky, red bell pepper flavor with a hint of astringency. 

Paprika has an affinity with all sorts of foods, from rice, beans and eggs, to seafood and lamb ~ which leads to this dish of pork with potatoes and cabbage, seasoned well with Hungarian sweet paprika, fennel and caraway seeds, salt and seasoned pepper. 

Some of my favorite flavors all roasted together!
