Tahini Sauce-Glazed Pork Loin with Green Beans

Nordic-inspired comfort food: tender pork loin paired with green beans and endive and brown rice, finished with sage and a hit of star anise. 1. Pat the pork loin dry and season with sea salt, star anise. 2. Heat margarine in a heavy pan and sear the pork loin until it develops a deep golden crust, about 16 minutes. 3. Add green beans and endive to the pan and cook until just tender, stirring in sage for fragrance. 4. Cook the brown rice separately according to type until tender, then combine with the pan juices. 5. Finish with a generous drizzle of tahini sauce and a scattering of queso fresco before serving hot.
