  • teaspoon parsley fresh minced
  • teaspoon parsley fresh minced for garnish
  • tablespoon parsley leaves fresh finely chopped

  • teaspoon thyme leaves fresh minced
  • 0.3 cup grapeseed oil 
  • tablespoons oil-packed sundried tomatoes drained finely chopped
  • pinch salt 
  • servings salt and pepper 
  • 0.5 cup butter unsalted softened

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • baking paper
  • whisk
  • pot
  • plastic wrap
  • meat tenderizer

Directions

  1. For the compound butter: In a bowl, combine the softened butter with the sundried tomatoes, sage, parsley, Cajun spice, and salt.
  2. Whisk together until well blended.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a piece of parchment paper and roll into a cigar shape about 1 1/2 inches thick. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. For the pork: Slice the loin into 3/4-inch thick slices, and then one by one, cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until each slice is flat and even (about a 1/4-inch thick).
  5. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and then dredge the pork in the seasoned flour.
  6. Heat the oil in a heavy bottom saucepan over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Once the oil has heated, add the floured pork to the pan and allow to cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat, flip, add some thyme and parsley, and repeat the process on the second side until finished cooking, 2 to 3 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat the process until all the pork is cooked.
  7. For the asparagus: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Trim the woody bottoms of the asparagus and peel the stalks. Blanch in the boiling water until bright green, 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Remove from the water and season with salt and pepper.
  9. Place asparagus in the center of a serving plate, arrange the pieces of cooked pork on top, and top with a 1/4-inch disk of sundried tomato butter.
  10. Garnish with parsley. Store the remaining butter wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator.
