   tropical stuffed tenderloin
   2 pounds pork tenderloin
   Salt
   Freshly cracked black pepper
   Salsa:
   2 cups medium diced mango
   2 to 3 cups medium diced pineapple
   3/4 cup finely grated fresh coconut (save the milk)
   1/2 cup torn cilantro leaves
   1/2 cup minced red onions
   3 cloves minced garlic
   1/4 cup minced chives
   2 tablespoons honey
   Coconut milk, as needed

   Preheat a grill to 375 degrees F.
   Fan out the loin by slicing it down the middle but not all the way through. Do the same to each side of the loin. Place the fanned loin in between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound until it is about 3/8-inch thick. Season with salt and fresh cracked black pepper.

   Place mango, pineapple, fresh coconut, cilantro, red onions, garlic, chives, and honey in a large bowl and fold together. Season, to taste, and loosen with fresh coconut milk if too thick. Lay out your pounded pork loin, spread on salsa, roll, and bind it together with some butchers string. Grill on high heat to achieve a golden brown color for about 6 to 9 minutes.

   To finish, lower the heat to 300 degrees F for 30 minutes or until an internal temperature of 165 to 170 degrees F is reached.

   I like to cut mine up in medallions and coat it with salt, pepper, garlic, and flour and pan fry it in just alittle bit of olive oil. then I make a gravy over it and serve it with rice or mashed potatoes. If you want to just cook it whole, you can do it in the crock pot just like a pot roast, or you can bake it in the oven on low wrapped in aluminum foil. Sit it up on a rack in the pan with a little bit of water under it and put onions, garlic, and potatoes in with it. season everything real good. I again just use salt, pepper, and garlic salt. let it cook for about 2 hours-or however many minutes per pound the package says depends on the size of the tenderloin. If you cook it slow enough it just falls apart.

    All of the suggestions so far seem too complicated for me. I LOVE to cook. I love to use the McCormick packaged seasoning Garden Herb. It adds so much flavor all from one package!!!!!!
