Fig and Honey Glazed Pork

Ingredients

Pork tenderloin

1 1/2 pounds

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons

Honey

1/4 cup

Dried figs

1 cup, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
3. In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Sear the pork tenderloin for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it is browned all over.
5. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
6. In the same skillet, add the chopped figs, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
7. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the figs soften and the sauce thickens slightly.
8. Return the seared pork tenderloin to the skillet, spooning the fig and honey glaze over the top.
9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
10. Once done, remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
11. Serve the sliced pork drizzled with the remaining fig and honey glaze.
