Almond-Crusted Pork with Honey-Mustard Dipping Sauce image

Sliced almonds add a delectable, almost-like-fried-chicken crunch to the breading for these tender pieces of pork. We slice the pork thinly to keep the cooking time quick. The resulting pork "fingers" are great dipped in the surprisingly simple, delicious honey, soy, and mustard sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup coarse dry breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 egg white, beaten
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and coat it with cooking spray.
  • Place breadcrumbs, almonds, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor; pulse until almonds are coarsely chopped. Transfer mixture to a shallow dish.
  • Place egg white in another shallow dish. Dip both sides of each pork slice in egg white, then evenly coat with almond mixture. (Discard any remaining egg white and almond mixture.) Place pork on prepared rack and coat on both sides with cooking spray.
  • Bake pork until golden brown and no longer pink in center, 16 to 18 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk honey, soy sauce, and mustard in a small bowl. Serve pork with honey-mustard sauce.
