GARLICKY GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BLACK-EYED PEA VINAIGRETTE
Pork and beans: happiest marriage ever. I've taken this perfect food couple and lightened it into a weeknight dish. Tenderloin gets even juicier after a garlicky marinade and a turn on the grill. It's topped with crunchy apple and creamy black-eyed peas mingled in a refreshing vinaigrette.

Steps:
- To make the vinaigrette: Whisk the garlic, scallion, mustard, honey, chile flakes, cayenne, vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. While whisking, add the oil in a slow, steady stream. Fold in the parsley, peas, and apple. Season with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour if time allows.
- To make the pork: Cut the pork into eight 1/2-inch-thick slices at an angle. Using a meat tenderizer or rolling pin, gently pound the pork into flat, even slices about 1/3 inch thick. Whisk the oil, garlic, apple, scallion, mustard, honey, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl. Pour into a gallon-size resealable plastic bag and add the pork. Seal the bag and turn and massage the pork to work the marinade evenly into the meat. If time allows, refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Bring the vinaigrette to room temperature.
- Remove the pork from the marinade and lightly season with salt and black pepper. Grill the pork, turning once, until grill marks appear and the center is rosy pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Stir the black-eyed pea vinaigrette and spoon all over the pork. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:
- For redeye glaze:
- Heat a medium heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add ham and sauté until golden brown, adding vegetable oil as needed if the ham scraps are lean. Add shallots and cook, stirring often, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in coffee, scraping up any browned bits.
- Add stock, sorghum syrup, and vinegar; bring to a simmer and cook until sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes. Strain into a small bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool completely; cover and chill. Rewarm before using.
- For black-eyed peas with spiced butter:
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add broth, peas, and 3 bay leaves. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and cook, skimming the surface occasionally, until peas are tender, about 1 1/4 hours. Discard bay leaves.
- Strain peas, reserving broth. Transfer 2 cups strained peas to a medium bowl; mash into a paste. Return whole and mashed peas to pot, along with some of the broth to thin mixture. Season with salt. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead.
- Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in small pan over medium heat. Simmer until browned bits form on bottom of pan, 5-6 minutes. Stir in coriander, fennel, lemon peel, cayenne, and remaining 2 bay leaves; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove pan from heat. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm and discard bay leaves and lemon peel from spice butter before serving.
- For tenderloin and assembly:
- Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Season pork with spice mixture; let stand for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear pork on all sides until deep golden brown, about 8 minutes total. Transfer skillet to oven. Roast pork, occasionally brushing with glaze, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into meat registers 140°F, about 15 minutes. Transfer meat to a carving board. Let rest, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
- Reheat peas and spice butter. Cut pork into 1/4"-1/2"-thick slices. Transfer to plates and spoon pickle purée over. Serve with peas drizzled with spoonfuls of spice butter.

Steps:
- Combine the ginger, 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1 tablespoon high-heat cooking oil, like canola, in a large resealable plastic bag. Sprinkle the pork with freshly ground black pepper and seal in the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- When ready to cook, move the pork to the counter to bring it to room temperature. Preheat the grill for cooking over medium heat (350 to 400 degrees F).
- Cut the peaches in half crosswise around the pit (not through the stem) for easier release. Twist the halves in opposite directions to release the flesh from the pit. Twist the pit out of the peach, cutting tightly around the pit with a paring knife, if necessary. Drizzle the peaches cut-side up with the remaining 2 teaspoons vinegar.
- Drain off the marinade and sprinkle the pork with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Rub the grill grates lightly with oil and grill the pork until it has nice grill marks and releases easily from the grill, about 8 minutes.
- Turn the pork and cook another 5 minutes. Once more, turn to another side and cook an additional 5 minutes. Remove the pork and cover it loosely with foil. Allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
- Meanwhile, place the peaches on the grill cut-sides down and cook until they have nice grill marks, release easily from the grill and are softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the pork and peaches with basil and additional salt and pepper to taste. Slice and serve.
