Pork tenderloin salad

Ingredients

Neutral cooking oil with a high smoke point, like vegetable or sunflower oil
450g pork tenderloin
1 medium lettuce head, washed and torn into small pieces
½ cucumber, thinly sliced
1 to 2 small tomatoes, diced
6 to 8 red radishes, ends removed and thinly sliced
2 ripe peaches, pitted and thinly sliced (can be substituted with Fuyu persimmons)
1 Large handful of oregano, basil and/or parsley, leaves picked and roughly chopped
240g pita chips, broken into bite-sized pieces

Peach Balsamic Vinaigrette

4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons of peach jam
½ tablespoon of dijon or other grainy mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat the barbecue to MEDIUM and turn it down to LOW. Prepare ribs for grilling by removing the membrane from the underside of the ribs. Prepare several foil envelopes and place 2 strips of ribs into each envelope, with 1/4 cup of water and seal tightly. Cook for 2–2 1/2 hours on LOW (150ºC) with the lid closed. Check the thermometer on the front of the grill lid frequently and adjust the cooking temperature accordingly. This may require turning one or two burners off and cooking indirectly.
  2. To prepare sauce: Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and set aside until ribs are ready to remove from the foil. Gently heat sauce on the side burner for 10–15 minutes before using.
  3. Carefully remove ribs from the foil and place on grids. Baste generously with sauce, and grill for 10 minutes per side, leaving the lid open, turning several times, and basting with sauce after each turn.
  4. The remaining sauce should be heated to a boil and then allowed to simmer for 5–10 minutes and served on the side as a dipping sauce.
