Our team of chefs continually scour the planet looking for new and exciting glazes to tempt your taste buds. They've topped their previous efforts (but remain ever-so-humble) with the strong sweet-sour flavor of this tamarind glaze, which pairs with pork for a marriage made in heaven. And our same team of chefs have spent hours pondering the mysteries of vegetables and, in their meditations, came up this carrot-cilantro-bok choy medley that comes second only to the pork for flavor. Our chefs are amazing. Have we mentioned they sometimes write the descriptions?

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Peel, trim, and cut carrot into 1/4" slices on an angle. Stem cilantro, mince stems, and coarsely chop leaves. Remove any discolored outer leaves from bok choy and trim ends. Cut stems into 1/4" slices and coarsely chop leaves. Pat pork tenderloin dry. On a separate cutting board, slice tenderloin into eight medallions 1/2-3/4" thick. Season both sides of medallions with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
-
2 Sear the Pork
Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add medallions to hot pan and cook until well-browned on both sides, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer medallions to a plate. Pork will finish cooking in a later step. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.
-
3 Start the Vegetables
Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add carrot to hot pan and cook undisturbed until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add 1/2 cup coconut milk, 2 Tbsp. water, ginger, and cilantro stems. Bring to a simmer, add bok choy stems, and cover. Cook until carrots are tender and coconut milk is slightly thickened, 4-6 minutes. While vegetables cook, glaze pork.
-
4 Glaze the Pork
Return pan used to sear pork to medium-high heat. Add tamarind, sweet chili sauce, and 1 Tbsp. water to hot pan and stir. Bring to a simmer and return pork medallions and any accumulated juices to pan. Cook, flipping medallions occasionally, until pork is glazed and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 1-2 minutes. Remove from burner.
-
5 Finish the Vegetables
When carrots are tender, add bok choy leaves to pan with other vegetables. Stir and cook until leaves are just wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.
-
6 Plate the Dish
Place vegetables on a plate and place pork medallions next to them. Drizzle pork with any remaining glaze from pan and garnish vegetables with hazelnuts and cilantro leaves.
