Recipe by Ming Tsai

Pork Loin

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 4 medium shallots, sliced
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 4 pork tenderloins, silver skin removed

Directions

In a bowl, mix together the soy, garlic, ginger, shallots, honey, Dijon, wine and oil. Toss with pork to coat well and let marinate for at least 4 hours, refrigerated.

Pull the pork out of the marinade. Place marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil and reduce by 25 to 30 percent.

Meanwhile, in a large, hot sauce pan coated lightly with oil, pan sear the pork until brown on all sides, about 10 to 12 minutes total. Glaze the pork every 3 to 4 minutes with the reduced marinade.

Vegetables

• 1 medium Japanese eggplant, cut in half, lengthwise
• 1 medium zucchini, cut in thirds lengthwise
• 1 medium red bell pepper, seed and cut in half
• 1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
• 2 large sweet potatoes, skin on, washed and cut into 1/2-inch slices
• 1 medium fennel, de-cored, cut in thirds, lengthwise
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together the eggplant, zucchini, pepper, onion, sweet potato and fennel. Toss lightly with oil, season and place on hot grill. Cook vegetables until done, chop into 1-inch pieces and check for flavor.

PLATING: On a dinner plate using an o-ring mold (3-inch diameter by 2 inches tall or a tuna fish can) fill with grilled veggies. Cut each tenderloin into 3 petit fillets and drizzle with reduced marinade.
