Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Herb Salsa
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 2 tablespoons oregano leaves
- 1/4 cup pitted green olives
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1/4 cup dried currants
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slabs
- 1 pound Broccolini
- 1 large pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- In a food processor, combine the parsley, oregano, olives and the 3/4 cup of olive oil and process to a fine paste.
- Add the currants and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper and pulse to blend.
- Light a grill and oil the grates; alternatively, heat a grill pan.
- Brush the onion slabs and Broccolini all over with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill over high heat, turning once or twice, until charred and tender, about 5 minutes for the Broccolini and 8 to 10 minutes for the onion.
- Meanwhile, butterfly the pork, cutting halfway through the meat; open the meat on a work surface.
- Using a meat pounder, pound the tenderloin to a 1/2-inch thickness.
- Brush the pork with olive oil and season with the paprika and salt and pepper.
- Grill over high heat, turning once or twice, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- Let the pork rest for 5 minutes, then cut into thick slices.
- Serve with the grilled Broccolini and onion and pass the herb salsa alongside.
