Helped along by sprinklings of paprika and oregano, olives bring a briny tang while cherry tomatoes keep things popping sweet in a swirl of demi-glace. Fling crumbles of feta over a cucumber-crisp side salad showered with apple cider vinaigrette and more herby seasonings.

Preparation
Start the pork
Pat the pork dry with paper towel; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the pork and cook, 2 to 4 min. per side, until browned and partially cooked.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes. Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise on an angle. Roughly chop the olives.
Finish the pork & make the sauce
To the pan of pork, add the garlic, olives, demi-glace, ½ the tomatoes and ¼ cup water (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until slightly reduced and the pork* is cooked through.
Make the salad
In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P. Add the baby greens, cucumbers, cheese (crumble if desired) and remaining tomatoes; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the pork and salad between your plates. Spoon the sauce over the pork. Bon appétit!
