Pork with Lemon, Honey and Thyme by Marcus Bawdon The flavors in this dish are more than the sum of their parts when cooked in the searing heat of a cast-iron skillet or pan. The pork caramelizes in the heat and is glazed with lemon juice and sweet honey, while the thyme adds just the right amount of herby background to make the whole dish sing. RECOMMENDED HEAT Set up a barbecue with a level bed of medium-hot embers, or use a wood-fired oven heated to a temperature of 400°F (200°C). SERVES 2 14-18oz (400-500g) pork tenderloin, cut into 1.5inch (3cm) cubes 1 lemon, quartered 2 sprigs of fresh thyme Pinch each of coarse sea salt and ground black pepper 2 tsp runny honey n Put a cast-iron skillet or pan in the barbecue (either on the grill or on top of the embers) or wood-fired oven to warm up. Add the cubed pork, three of the lemon quarters, and the thyme. Season with the sea salt and black pepper, then sear the outside of the pork until it is nicely browned – this should take about 4-5 minutes. n Squeeze the fourth of the lemon quarters over the pork and drizzle with the honey. n Cook the pork for a few more minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). This ensures the pork remains juicy and slightly pink, and does not dry out. BBQ | Spring 2020 | 23
