Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- Salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
Salsa:
- 2 cups medium diced mango
- 2 to 3 cups medium diced pineapple
- 3/4 cup finely grated fresh coconut (save the milk)
- 1/2 cup torn cilantro leaves
- 1/2 cup minced red onions
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 cup minced chives
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Coconut milk, as needed
Directions
Preheat a grill to 375 degrees F.
Fan out the loin by slicing it down the middle but not all the way through. Do the same to each side of the loin. Place the fanned loin in between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound until it is about 3/8-inch thick. Season with salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
Place mango, pineapple, fresh coconut, cilantro, red onions, garlic, chives, and honey in a large bowl and fold together. Season, to taste, and loosen with fresh coconut milk if too thick. Lay out your pounded pork loin, spread on salsa, roll, and bind it together with some butchers string. Grill on high heat to achieve a golden brown color for about 6 to 9 minutes.
To finish, lower the heat to 300 degrees F for 30 minutes or until an internal temperature of 165 to 170 degrees F is reached.

I used garlic and herb pork tenderloin since I had one in the freezer. I also halved the recipe since there are only myself and my hubby. I fallowed the instructions of the previous user and baked the tenderloin and it was great! Even my hubby who isn’t a huge fan of pork like it. The only reason it doesn't get five starts is the recipe doesn't have clear instructions on how to butterfly pork tenderloin so I had to find one on YouTube. Next time I think I’ll buy one already butterflied.

The salsa was really good and original. Eventhough I couldn't find any chives or the fresh coconut at the market,the salsa came out really good! (Also I added some red peppers to the salsa. The pork was juicy and not dry....simply delicious.

This recipe was relatively easy to make. I actually made it because I wanted to try the salsa recipe more than the stuffed pork loin. I also don't have a grill so I tried it in the oven. The pork loin turned out great and was very impressive looking when sliced and served on a platter. Everyone seemed to like it, although the salsa was an even bigger hit when I put it out by itself with a bowl of organic blue corn tortilla chips.
