(serves 4)
1 pork tenderloin
2 sprigs rosemary
2 small onions, quartered
6 cloves garlic, peeled and squished slightly
2 cups whole milk
salt and pepper
Now line a 9x13 dish with aluminium foil and lay the rosemary in the center. Then lay the tenderloin across it, surround with the onions and garlic, and pour over the milk. Salt and pepper, and roast in the oven at 425 degrees for 35–40 minutes, depend on how done you like it. Roasted, that’s all it takes.

lots of good-quality fresh tomatoes that are just a little too old
olive oil
sea salt
Place all these things together in a saucepan, adjusting the amount of oil and salt to the quantity of tomatoes (I had perhaps a pound, and used 3 tablespoons oil and a couple of teaspoons salt). Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, crushing the tomatoes with a potato masher. Then strain through a colander into another saucepan, discard the seeds and skin, and… decide what to do with it. The glossy, golden shimmer of the olive oil against the deep fresh red of the tomatoes are beautiful, and the tangy, salty flavor just ambrosia. I think it could have been soup, if I cooked it down to be thicker. Or you could add fresh herbs and drink it, or you could add cream and it could be sauce for pasta. But I had two hungry children and ourselves to feed instantly, so I added a can of commercial plum tomatoes and some parmesan and it was spaghetti sauce. But that first spoonful of satiny flavor made me realize, sadly, how far even good tinned tomatoes are from the Real Thing.
