Yield: 24 canapés • Preparation: 35 minutes • Bake: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 (9- to 12-ounce) pork tenderloins
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 24 French bread crostini
- 1 recipe Corn-Avocado Relish (recipe follows)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place tenderloins on pan. Drizzle evenly with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with garlic salt, chili powder, smoked paprika, and pepper, rubbing spices into pork.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Remove tenderloins from oven, and let rest for 15 minutes. (Pork will be rare.) Cut pork into ½-inch slices.
- In a medium nonstick sauté pan, heat remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced pork, cooking on both sides until pork is no longer pink and is slightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and cover to keep warm.
- Place 1 pork slice on each crostini. Top with Corn-Avocado Relish. Serve immediately.
Notes
- • Pork tenderloins can be baked a day in advance. Wrap in aluminum foil, and refrigerate until needed. Let pork come to room temperature before continuing with recipe.
