Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Pork tenderloin
Provides the lean, meaty centrepiece that roasts through while the sides cook.
Radicchio
Wilts when heated, turning soft and adding a slightly bitter note.
Balsamic vinegar
Adds acidity and sweetness that brightens the vegetables and pan juices.
Green beans
Cook in the skillet until tender, adding texture and substance to the dish.
Red potatoes
Roast in the pan, becoming crisp at the edges and creamy inside.
Onion
Softens and sweetens as it cooks in the olive oil.

The step that matters

Timing the pork against the skillet vegetables. Pork tenderloin is lean and dries out quickly if overcooked, so it should come out as soon as it is done. The vegetables need their own cooking time, so starting the skillet with about 10 minutes of roasting left keeps both ready together.

Swap the green beans
