PASTRY ENCRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN
This recipe was in a cookbook which I purchased for a fundraiser. It is very easy to make and is perfect for that special dinner for two, although it makes enough for four servings. I am including the recipe for the accompanying sauce, although my husband and I both feel that it doesn't really need a sauce.

- Brush all the exposed pastry border with beaten egg.
- Place the pork on the upper third of the pastry, tucking any thin ends under.
- Season the pork with pepper.
- Bring the short ends of the pastry over the end of the pork, then roll the pork in the pastry until fully enclosed, cutting off any excess pastry.
