You may know figs from such cookies as “Fig Newtons,” or references to figgy pudding in Christmas carols, but it's time you had a real introduction to their flavor. Indeed, this sweet fig spread and red wine glaze is a perfect match to a succulent pork tenderloin. With goat cheese-topped Brussels and carrots on the side, you'll be grateful for expanding your fruit horizons beyond cookies.

If using pork chops or lamb, in Step 2, roast vegetables, 14 minutes. Follow same instructions as pork tenderloin in Steps 1, 3, and 4, searing until browned, 2-4 minutes per side, then roasting until protein reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.
-
If using ribeye, in Step 2, roast vegetables, 15 minutes. Follow same instructions as pork tenderloin in Steps 1, 3, and 4, searing until browned, 2-3 minutes per side, then roasting until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. Halve to serve.
-

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Peel, trim, and cut carrot on an angle into ¼" rounds. Trim bottoms off Brussels sprouts and halve (quarter if larger than ping-pong balls). Pat pork tenderloin dry, and season all over with ¼ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.
-
2 Roast the Vegetables
Toss carrot and Brussels sprouts with 2 tsp. olive oil, ½ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper on prepared baking sheet. Spread into a single layer on one half. Roast in hot oven, 7 minutes. Remove from oven. Vegetables will finish cooking in a later step. While vegetables roast, sear pork tenderloin.
-
3 Sear the Pork Tenderloin
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tsp. olive oil and pork tenderloin to hot pan. Sear until lightly browned on two “sides,” 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from burner. Transfer pork to empty side of baking sheet. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.
-
4 Finish the Vegetables and Pork Tenderloin
Roast vegetables and pork tenderloin in hot oven until vegetables are tender and pork tenderloin reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 13-16 minutes. Rest cooked pork tenderloin, at least 5 minutes, then slice into ½" medallions. While pork rests, make glaze.
-
5 Make Glaze and Finish Dish
Return pan used to sear pork tenderloin to medium-high heat. Add red cooking wine and fig spread to hot pan. Stir occasionally until it thickens into a thin syrup, 1-2 minutes. If glaze reduces too much or thickens too much as it cools, stir in water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Plate dish as pictured on front of card, placing pork on glaze and garnishing vegetables with goat cheese (crumbling if needed). Bon appétit!
