Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

2 trimmed pork tenderloin
1 cup dried black mission figs, coarsely chopped
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. sage
1/4 tsp. thyme
5 tbs. mild garlic
1/2 cup apricot jam


Butterfly tenderloin lengthwise and lay out flat.
Pound to tenderize and sprinkle the garlic, figs, seasonings and blue cheese over pork, leaving a 1/2" border around outside edges.

Lightly brush each tenderloin with oil and season with pepper.
Place 3/4 chimney full of briquettes on cooking table and place an oiled 14" camp oven over the coals to preheat.
Sear both tenderloins for a few minutes to seal the meat.

Brush melted jam over the pork and continue to bake until a thermometer registers 155˚-160˚. (5-10 more minutes)
Let stand at least 10 minutes before removing the twine and slicing.

great cooking, and is that one of those super sharp ceramic knife ? what brand is it ? and how do you like it so far ?

@g4r15

Sharp eyes! Dean's son gave it to him as a gift. It is the same brand as on the TV ad and we like using it a lot. It is very sharp and easy to clean.

There's an H in herbs what is happening to the language?

[outdoorcastironcook]

@Brighteyes1ful

Yes, Brigheyes, There is an H, and as far as I know nothing has happened to the language. The word can be pronounced like the man's name, Herb, or without the sound of the H, and will be erb. When I listen to cooking shows on TV I have heard it pronounced both ways. Just like vase or vahz and almond or ammond, apricot or apericot, regional dialects and common usage can determine the pronunciation. My aunt, who was from the country of England, always pronounced it "erbs" .
