Main Dish Recipe of the month:

*FOR THE MONTH OF JULYTHIS DINNER CAN BE PREPARED FOR YOU DURING YOUR STAY. PLEASE INQUIRE FOR PRICES AND RESERVATIONS AT TIME OF BOOKING.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CHILE-COCONUT SAUCE

Pork Tenderloin-Serves 4

• 2 pork tenderloins, 1 1/2 to 2 lbs total

• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 tablespoon onion powder

• juice of 1/2 lime

Chile Coconut Sauce

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, chopped

• 1 lemongrass stalk, white part only, chopped into small pieces

• 1 fresh Thai bird chile, cut into rounds

• Stems from 1/4 bunch of fresh cilantro

• 1 can (14 oz) unsweetened coconut milk

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• juice of 1 lime

• 1 tablespoon of fish sauce

• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Put the pork on a platter and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and lime juice and turn to coat the pork with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in the refrigerator.

For the chile-coconut sauce, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic, lemongrass, chile and cilantro stems and cook to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the coconut milk and sugar and simmer until thickened, about 4 minutes. Squeeze in the lime juice and season with the fish sauce, salt and pepper. Cook to room temperature.

Preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. Blot some oil into a thick square of paper towel and then carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick surface. Put the pork on the grill and cook, turning to brown all sides, until crusty on the outside and almost cooked through but still pink in the center 10 to 15 minutes.

To serve, slice the pork and add it to the bowl with the tomato salad. Pour over the chile-coconut sauce and toss it all together.

COCONUT TOMATO SALAD (serves 4)

1 1/2 cups shredded, unsweetened coconut

2 pounds fresh heirloom tomatoes, cut into big chunks (use a variety of colors, yellow, purple, bright red)

1/2 small red onion, slivered.

1 fresh Thai bird chile, thinly sliced

leaves from 1/4 bunch of fresh cilantro

handful of fresh mint leaves

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Extra virgin olive oil

2 scallions, trimmed and chopped

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spread the coconut out in a thin layer on a baking sheet and bake, shaking every now and then for even cooking, until browned, about 10 minutes.

In a big bowl, toss together the tomatoes, red onion, chile, cilantro, mint and salt and pepper. Drixxle with olive oil and fold in the toasty coconut and scallions.

Green tip of the month:

 

Now is an excellent time to check your windows for draft and air leaks. While you are doing your summer window washing bring along a tube of caulk and fill in loose areas around panes as needed. A surprisingly large amount of heat in winter and cool air in summer escapes easily through unsealed cracks.
