How to Make Pecan Roasted Pork

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  3. In a food processor, combine 1 cup pecan halves, 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion, and 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
  4. Season two 1-pound pork tenderloins generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Roll the pork tenderloins in the pecan mixture, ensuring they're evenly coated. Place them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Lightly coat the top of the tenderloins with cooking spray.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160°F (71°C).
  8. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1-inch thick medallions.
  9. Meanwhile, prepare the peach chutney:
  10. Cut 2 ripe peaches into bite-sized pieces.
  11. In a medium saucepan, combine the peaches with 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  12. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  13. Serve the pork medallions topped with the warm peach chutney.
