These mini pork tenderloin buns are a little taste of Spain with smoked paprika and membrillo mayonnaise, served up with a crunchy slaw

Prep Time

    •    Prep time: 15 minutes
    •    Cook time: 30 minutes
    •    Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

    •    2 ½ tbsps olive oil
    •    5 tbsps mayonnaise
    •    2 tbsps quince paste
    •    3 garlic cloves, crushed
    •    ½ red onion, very finely sliced
    •    12 mini burger buns or rolls, halved
    •    1 fennel bulb, quartered then very finely sliced
    •    400g / 14 oz piece of pork tenderloin trimmed of any sinew
    •    1 tbsp hot smoked paprika (reduce to ½ tbsp if you like it too hot)
    •    3 sweet pickled cucumber, finely chopped, plus 2 tbsps pickle juice

Method

1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the paprika, 2 of the garlic cloves, 1 1 /2 tbsp oil and some seasoning. Rub all over the pork, then place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Pop in the oven for 15 mins, then turn the loin over and roast for a further 12-15 mins until cooked through.
2. To make the slaw, mix the fennel, onion, pickle and juice, and remaining oil with some seasoning. Can be made a few hours ahead and chilled.
3. For the aïoli, whizz the quince paste in a food processor with the mayo and remaining garlic. Remove the pork from the oven and leave to rest for 5 mins before slicing. To serve, spread a little aïoli in each roll and pile in the meat and slaw. Serve any extra slaw on the side, if you like
