Pork Tenderloin with Herbs

For an appetizer, use one pork loin for six servings; if an entree, one loin for 2-3 servings.

Ingredients:

• 1 pork tenderloin
• Olive oil
• 2 Tbsp fresh or 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 2 Tbsp fresh or 1 tsp dried thyme
• 2 Tbsp fresh or 1 tsp dried chives
• 2 Tbsp fresh or 1 tsp dried parsley
• 2 Tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp minced shallots

Directions:

Preheat gas grill on high level for 20 minutes or use charcoal briquet fire when the coals turn white.

Lightly coat the pork loin with oil. Mix together the herbs, garlic and shallots. Roll the loin in the mixture, and press mixture to meat.

Grill the loin on high temperature for 20 minutes or until the meat is firm and slightly crispy on the outside.

Remove from heat and allow loin to "rest" for 5 minutes on a platter before slicing and serving.

Option: Slice into bite-size pieces, and serve with a grainy or hot/sweet mustard and 1/3 cup toasted sesame seeds for dipping.
