Pork Loin with Tuna Sauce Recipe
For the sauce, you can also follow the recipe for QUICK TUNA SAUCE.
Start preparing the pork loin with tuna sauce by cooking the meat. After patting it dry with some paper towels, cook it in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil for 2-3 minutes on each side. Set aside. Drain the tuna in a strainer.
Place the drained tuna, anchovies, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a few basil leaves in a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more lemon juice if needed.
Arrange the pork loin slices on a serving plate. I put a bit of salad on the bottom, but it’s optional. Spread the sauce evenly over the meat slices.
Garnish the dish with a sprig of basil and serve the pork loin with tuna sauce immediately, or store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
