Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Watermelon Tabouli
- 1 cup bulgur
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
- Juice of 2 lemons, plus wedges for serving
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 large pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 cups cubed watermelon
- 1 cup finely chopped fresh mint
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- Preheat a grill to medium high.
- Cook the bulgur as the label directs; drain well, transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, the garlic and paprika in a small bowl.
- Butterfly the pork: Slice lengthwise down the center, stopping about 1/2 inch before cutting all the way through.
- Open the pork like a book and flatten slightly with your hands.
- Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet or a skillet until 1/2 inch thick; discard the plastic wrap.
- Transfer the pork to a shallow baking dish; season with salt and pepper, then rub all over with the garlic oil.
- Let sit 10 minutes.
- Brush the grill grates with olive oil.
- Grill the pork until well marked, about 6 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the juice of the remaining lemon, the vinegar, watermelon, mint and scallions to the bulgur; toss and season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the pork and serve with the watermelon tabouli and lemon wedges.
