A classic Romanian Sunday roast: tender pork tenderloin marinated with garlic, mustard, and spices, baked in a tray alongside golden potatoes soaked in the meat's own juices. Simple to prepare, impressive on the table, and irresistibly flavorful.

💡Variations
Replace pork tenderloin with boneless, skinless chicken breast — reduce baking time by 10 minutes.
Add seasonal vegetables: carrots, bell pepper, zucchini — add them to the tray together with the potatoes.
Creamy version: in the last 10 minutes, pour 100 ml sour cream over the meat and potatoes for a creamy sauce.
