Pan-Roasted Pork Tenderloin
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small Spanish onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 large green tomato, halved, seeded, and finely diced
- 2 ripe peaches, peeled, halved, pitted, and finely diced
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 green onions, green and pale green parts, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons honey
- Green Pea Couscous (page 168)
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium ovenproof saute pan over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer.
- Season the tenderloin on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place the pork in the pan and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and roast the pork to medium (an internal temperature of 150F), about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing 1/2 inch thick.
- While the pork is roasting, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large saute pan over high heat.
- Add the onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of the lime juice and 1/4 cup of the vinegar and boil until reduced, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the tomato, peaches, and sugar, reduce the heat to medium, and cook slowly until the mixture is slightly soft but the peaches retain some of their shape, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar and 2 tablespoons lime juice, the parsley, green onions, and honey.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Scrape the relish into a bowl and let cool to room temperature before serving.
- Serve slices of the pork on a bed of couscous and top with the relish.
