Leaner than a classic fillet, black pork tenderloin from Bigorre stays juicy thanks to its genetic quality: this ancient breed from the southwest accumulates intramuscular fat rather than surface fat. You trim the excess fat before cooking, then roast it covered in a Dutch oven with shallots, baby potatoes on skewers, and a gravy deglazed with water. The curry onion chutney cuts through the richness of the meat.
