Health and fertility benefits of Thyme-Basted Pork Tenderloin with Oyster Mushrooms

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Walnuts are low on the glycemic index. What’s more, they also lower the glycemic index of other foods that you eat in conjunction with these nuts. Any kind of nuts provide a healthy source of fat and a great way to encourage PCOS weight loss.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
One 1 1/4-pound pork tenderloin
Kosher salt
Pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds oyster mushrooms, trimmed and torn into 1-inch pieces
4 garlic cloves, 2 minced and 2 crushed
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 large thyme sprigs
Toasted walnuts, for garnish
Chopped shallot, for garnish
Chives, for garnish
Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Instructions

In a 12-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the grapeseed oil until shimmering. Season the pork with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat until browned all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the oven and roast the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 135 °, 18 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a very large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in the olive oil. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes. Add the minced garlic and the parsley and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat.
Set the pork over moderate heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, the crushed garlic and the thyme to the skillet and cook until the butter is foamy. Baste the meat with the butter just until the butter browns, 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer the pork to a cutting board and cut into thick slices. Spoon the mushrooms onto a platter, top with the pork and drizzle with the brown butter. Garnish with walnuts, shallot, chives and flaky salt and serve.
