Grilled Pork Tenderloin and Apricots with Honey Glaze
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 piece (2 inches) fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- 3 tablespoons neutral-tasting oil, such as canola or safflower
- 8 scallions
- 6 medium-ripe apricots (about 1 pound), halved and pitted
- Coarsely crush coriander seeds and peppercorns.
- Toast in a small saucepan over medium heat until fragrant, shaking pan occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add ginger, honey, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbling rapidly, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let stand 15 minutes; strain into a small dish.
- Heat a grill (or grill pan) to high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 2 to 3 seconds).
- Sprinkle pork on all sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and season with ground pepper; brush with 1 tablespoon oil.
- Cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
- Move pork to indirect heat (or reduce heat to low if using a grill pan) and cook until an instantread thermometer inserted in middle reaches 138F, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board; spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of glaze over pork.
- Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, grill scallions until lightly charred and tender, about 3 minutes.
- Brush apricots with remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
- Cook, cut side down, until apricots are marked by the grill and release easily from the grates, about 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook until bubbling around the edges, skins pull away, and apricots are tender when pressed, about 2 minutes more.
- Dividing evenly, transfer to four serving plates, and drizzle glaze over each apricot half.
- Serve warm with pork and scallions.
