PANKO-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FIG GLAZE
I always seem to have a jar of fig butter in my fridge for charcuterie boards. This recipe puts it to use in new ways -- to coat the pork tenderloin before rolling in panko and simmered in a buttery glaze to serve alongside the pork. If you don't have fig butter, it's absolutely worth buying a jar! The flavors pair beautifully with the pork.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a medium skillet, combine the panko, 2 teaspoons of the herbes de Provence, 2 teaspoons salt, several grinds black pepper and the olive oil. Toast the panko over medium heat watching carefully and stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Prepare your breading station with three shallow baking dishes or plates big enough to fit the pork: Put the flour in one dish. Whisk the eggs with the 2 tablespoons fig butter in the second dish. Transfer the toasted panko to the third dish.
- Season each pork tenderloin generously with salt. Coat each in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the egg and fig mixture. Coat with the panko, pressing gently to adhere. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Insert a probe thermometer into the middle of one tenderloin (or use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature after the suggested roasting time). Bake until cooked through and reaches 145 degrees F on the thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes.
- About 5 minutes before the pork is done, make the fig glaze: Combine the remaining 1/3 cup fig butter with 1/3 cup water, the vinegar, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened but still pourable, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and swirl the pan until the butter melts and creates a shiny glaze.
- Slice the pork and serve with the fig glaze on the side.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ORANGE-BALSAMIC GLAZE
This is one of our favourite ways to eat pork tenderloin as it is so easy to make, elegant enough for company and delicious. I omit the orange zest as the kids don't care for it. You could also substitute apricot jam for peach and omit the diced dried apricots. I cook mine on the gas barbeque by heating it up to desired temperature, turning one side off and placing the tenderloins on the side that was turned off. I tend to make extra glaze as I pour about 1/2 of it on the tenderloins before cooking. This recipe came from Rose Reisman's Secret for Permanent Weight Loss Cookbook.

- To ensure that the pork tenderloin cooks evenly, it is important to sear it well on all sides before adding the glaze.
- The glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When you are ready to use it, simply warm it up over low heat.
- If you don't have any fresh figs, you can use dried figs instead. Just be sure to soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using them.
- This dish is best served with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
