Amount Ingredient
2 x pork tenderloins - (3/4 lb ea)
1 cup dry red wine
1 sprg fresh rosemary - (2" long)
1 x garlic clove smashed
1/4 tsp dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1 tbl mild-flavored honey
1 tsp finely-chopped fresh rosemary
2 med red bell peppers quartered
3 med zucchini - (1 lb total) trimmed, and cut
lengthwise into 1/4" slices
1 med onion cut lengthwise
into 6 wedges, leaving root ends intact
Salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil divided
Instructions:
Instructions: Trim off tail ends of tenderloins to form 2 (8-ounce) pieces, reserving trimmings for another use.

Boil wine, rosemary sprig, garlic and red pepper flakes in a small heavy saucepan until reduced to about 1/2 cup, 7 to 8 minutes. Pour through a fine sieve into a measuring cup, then transfer rosemary sprig, garlic and red pepper flakes to a sealable plastic bag along with 1/4 cup wine marinade and tenderloins. Refrigerate, turning bag occasionally, at least 2 hours or overnight.

To prepare dressing: Return remaining 1/4 cup wine marinade to saucepan. Add vinegar, honey and chopped rosemary; boil until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 6 to 8 minutes.

Prepare grill for cooking.

When fire is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the rack for 3 to 4 seconds), put bell peppers, zucchini and onion on a lightly oiled grill rack and place over fire.

Grill zucchini and onion, turning, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board.

Grill peppers until skins are blackened and flesh begins to soften, about 8 minutes, then transfer to a bowl, cover and let steam 10 minutes.

While peppers are steaming, pat pork dry and season to taste with salt and pepper. Grill on lightly oiled grill rack over medium-hot fire, turning frequently, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into meat registers 155 degrees, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Peel peppers and cut into 1-inch pieces. Transfer to a large bowl.

Cut zucchini and onion into 1-inch pieces; add to peppers. Toss vegetables with 2 tablespoons rosemary dressing, 1 teaspoon oil, and salt and pepper to taste.

Toss arugula with remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Mound grilled vegetables on 4 plates; top with sliced pork. Add any juices from cutting board to remaining 2 tablespoons dressing and drizzle over pork. Top with arugula.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: Many packages of pork tenderloin contain two tenderloins weighing about 3/4 pound each. If you happen to get a package with one larger tenderloin, simply cook it a little while longer.

If the grids on your grill are widely spaced, you may want to use a grill basket for the vegetables.
