Steps:
- Season pork with salt. Let sit 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix wine, prunes, olives, brown sugar, capers and brine, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and ¼ cup oil in a medium bowl to combine; set sauce aside (or use it to marinate pork up to 12 hours).
- Place a rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Cook pork, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, 6-8 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and let sit 1 minute so pan can cool down a bit. Pour reserved sauce over pork and give pan a few shakes. Transfer to oven and roast pork, basting with sauce halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of tenderloin registers 145°F, 22-26 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
- Return pan to medium-high heat. Add butter to sauce and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until butter is melted and sauce is slightly reduced, 3-5 minutes. Stir in parsley if using.
- Slice tenderloin crosswise against the grain. Transfer to a platter and spoon pan sauce over.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Using a slicing knife, make an incision parallel to the cutting board into the pork loin (butterfly). The incision should run from end to end lengthwise, and leave about 1/2 inch of the pork loin intact opposite the side of the incision. You should be left with the pork loin opened into about an 8-by-10-inch piece.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sausage, olives, dates and shallots. Mix in the cream, breadcrumbs and egg yolk, and finish with the parsley. Season with the za'atar and some salt and pepper.
- Stuff the pork loin by spreading the mixture down one side of the opened loin and folding over the other half. You should leave about 1/2 inch of extra space for the ends of the pork to seal again, keeping the filling centered. Cut 8 long pieces of butcher's twine and tie the loin together to form it back to its original shape.
- Put the loin on a roasting rack in a pan and season with salt and pepper. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F, 50 to 60 minutes. Rest the meat for 10 minutes before slicing. You should have 8 even slices from the roast.

Tips:
- To save time, slice the pork tenderloin into medallions before cooking. This will reduce the cooking time by about half.
- To ensure that the pork is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit.
- For a more flavorful dish, marinate the pork tenderloin in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices before cooking.
- If you don't have kalamata olives on hand, you can substitute another type of olive, such as black olives or green olives.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Pork tenderloin with kalamata olives is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and juicy, and the olives add a salty and briny flavor that complements the pork perfectly. This dish is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of sides.
