Pork tenderloin, a lean and tender cut of meat, is often cooked quickly over high heat to preserve its moisture and delicate flavor. This recipe uses a flavorful spice rub to coat the tenderloin, which is then seared and roasted to perfection. The resulting dish is a juicy and flavorful pork tenderloin that is complemented by a refreshing and healthy collard green salad. The salad is made with fresh collard greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a tangy dressing, making it a perfect accompaniment to the rich and flavorful pork tenderloin.

SPICY THAI PORK TENDERLOIN SALAD
There are a lot of ingredients in this bright and bold-tasting pork salad recipe; they add up to a vibrant dish you can serve warm or at room temperature to a spice-loving crowd. Lean pork tenderloin is marinated with chiles, ginger root and cilantro, grilled or broiled, then combined with cabbage, fresh herbs and nuts and coconut for richness. A bit of reserved marinade serves as the dressing. The recipe makes a large batch; you can halve it or make the whole thing and enjoy the leftovers.

Steps:
- Pat pork dry with paper towel. In a bowl, combine shallot, cilantro, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, garlic, soy sauce, peanut or grapeseed oil, lime zest and juice, ginger, fish sauce, salt and chile. Pour a quarter of the mixture into a blender, add remaining sugar and purée until a smooth, loose paste forms. (Save the unblended mixture to use as dressing.)
- Place tenderloin in a large bowl and spread the paste all over pork. Marinate at room temperature for 2 hours, or cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours; turn the tenderloin occasionally.
- Light the grill or heat the broiler and arrange a rack at least 4 inches from the heat. Grill or broil pork, turning occasionally, until well browned and meat reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees, 4 to 10 minutes per side depending upon the heat of your broiler or grill. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't overcook. Let meat rest while you prepare the salad. (Or, cook the pork 1 or 2 hours ahead and serve it at room temperature.)
- In a large bowl, combine the salad ingredients, reserving the herbs, cashews and coconut. Whisk the dressing and use just enough to dress the salad, tossing to combine. Let sit for a few minutes for the flavors to meld, then right before serving, add herbs and toss again.
- To serve, slice the pork. Arrange salad on a platter and top with sliced pork. Scatter cashews and coconut on top, drizzle with a little more of the remaining dressing, to taste.

Steps:
- Arrange racks in middle and upper thirds of oven; preheat to 450°F. Mix turmeric, salt, pepper, and cumin in a small bowl; set aside.
- Using a peeler, slice ribbons off long neck of squash until you have 2 cups ribbons; set aside. Cut remaining squash in half lengthwise; scoop out and discard seeds. Cut squash into 1/2" half-moons.
- Toss squash pieces with 2 Tbsp. coconut oil in a large bowl. Add 1 1/2 tsp. turmeric mixture and toss to coat. Spread squash mixture on a rimmed baking sheet, reserving large bowl, and roast in upper third of oven until golden-brown and tender, about 20 minutes.
- Whisk lime juice, honey, and fish sauce in a large bowl. Add squash ribbons and toss to coat; let sit until ready to use.
- Meanwhile, rub pork with remaining turmeric mixture in reserved large bowl. Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. coconut oil in a large heatproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over high and sear pork, turning often, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer skillet to center rack in oven and roast, flipping pork halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of tenderloin registers 145°F, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
- While pork and squash roast, remove stems from collards. Stack halved leaves into a neat pile. Starting at 1 long side, roll into a tube, then slice at 1/2" intervals across tube to create ribbons.
- Transfer squash ribbons to a plate. Add vegetable oil to dressing and whisk to combine. Using your hands, massage collards in dressing until dark green. Return squash ribbons to bowl and toss to combine.
- Divide salad among plates or transfer to a serving platter; top with coconut chips. Serve roasted squash and pork with yogurt alongside.

SPICY COLLARD GREENS AND HAM HOCKS
This recipe is from a local cookbook, "Friends of the Market". I've found a lot of good recipes in it. I haven't tried this one yet. The cookbook is a collection of recipes from customers of the Mauldin Open Air Market. The author says that many people will not eat collards because they are bitter, but when fixed this way they are not bitter. Collard greens are a traditional dish to serve on New Year's Day, along with black-eyed peas and hog jowls.

Steps:
- Remove stems and center ribs from collards and discard. Wash collards several times to remove any grit or dirt. Place in a pot and cover with cold water. Add generous pinch of baking soda. Bring to a full rolling boil. Pour all of this green water off. (This is known as par-boiling.).
- Put collards back into the pot. Cover with fresh cold water. Add ham hock, sugar and crushed red pepper. Cover and cook for two to three hours, adding water as necessary.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check its internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork tenderloin by cutting into it. The meat should be slightly pink in the center for medium-rare or cooked through for medium.
- To save time, you can marinate the pork tenderloin overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- If you don't have time to marinate the pork tenderloin, you can still cook it without marinating. Just be sure to cook it over medium heat so that it doesn't dry out.
- The collard green salad is a refreshing and healthy side dish that complements the spiced pork tenderloin well. Be sure to wash the collard greens thoroughly before using them.
- You can adjust the amount of spices in the pork tenderloin and collard green salad to suit your taste. If you like spicy food, you can add more cayenne pepper or chili powder.
Conclusion:
This spiced pork tenderloin with collard green salad is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork tenderloin is juicy and flavorful, and the collard green salad is refreshing and healthy. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
