Before You Begin
We developed this recipe with pimento-stuffed green olives, but unstuffed green olives are fine, too.
Instructions
- Pat pork dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add pork and cook until well browned and meat registers 140 degrees, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to platter and tent with foil.
- Wipe skillet clean with paper towels. Add remaining ¼ cup oil, olives, shallot, and garlic to now-empty skillet and cook over medium heat until fragrant and garlic begins to brown, about 1 minute. Stir in lentils and 1 teaspoon salt and continue to cook until just warmed through, about 2 minutes longer. Off heat, stir in tomatoes and parsley. Serve lentil salad with pork.
