Pork Tenderloin With Tomato-Peach Compote
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon chopped peeled ginger
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 2 (3/4-pound) pork tenderloins
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3/4 pound tomatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 peach, chopped
- 2 teaspoons chopped thyme
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- Equipment: a mortar and pestle
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0F with rack in middle.
- Mash garlic, ginger, curry powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a paste using mortar and pestle. Rub all over pork.
- Heat oil in an ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Brown pork on one side, about 5 minutes, then turn over and transfer skillet to oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 145 to 150u0b0F for juicy meat, 10 to 12 minutes. Let pork rest, uncovered, on a cutting board while making compote.
- Add onion to skillet (handle will be very hot) and sauteover medium-high heat until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes and peach and saute until just softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in thyme and, if desired, sugar.
- Slice pork and serve with compote.
