  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

  2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  3. Rub each piece of pork tenderloin with the seasoning mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.

  4. Arrange the tenderloin in a roasting pan, add sunflower oil, and place it in the preheated oven.

  5. Let it cook for 25-30 minutes at 200°C.

  6. Remove the tenderloin from the oven and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This step lets the juices redistribute, making the meat tender and juicy.

  1. Place the peas in a pot of water (approximately 1.5-2 liters for 1 kg of peas) so they are completely covered.

  2. Let the peas cook over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes if they are fresh, or 8-12 minutes if frozen. The peas should be tender but maintain their green color.

  3. After boiling, drain the peas, transfer them to a blender, add the cream, butter, salt, pepper, and a little of the cooking water (50 ml or more, depending on how thick you want the purée). Blend for 30-40 seconds until you get a creamy purée.

  4. Slice the pork tenderloin (after it has rested) and serve it with the pea purée.
