PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
• Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Mix the parsley, vinegar, 2 teaspoons mustard, the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil.
• Transfer 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette to a bowl and stir in the breadcrumbs. Set the pork on the baking sheet; season with1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon mustard, then pat the breadcrumb mixture all over. Roast until the pork is golden and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the peas and carrots in a microwave-safe bowl; add a pinch of salt and a splash of water, cover with plastic wrap and pierce a few times with a knife to vent; microwave until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool slightly. Add the watercress, almonds and the remaining vinaigrette. Slice the pork; serve with the salad.

GARLICKY GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BLACK-EYED PEA VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette: Whisk the garlic, scallion, mustard, honey, chile flakes, cayenne, vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. While whisking, add the oil in a slow, steady stream. Fold in the parsley, peas, and apple. Season with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour if time allows.
• To make the pork: Cut the pork into eight 1/2-inch-thick slices at an angle. Using a meat tenderizer or rolling pin, gently pound the pork into flat, even slices about 1/3 inch thick. Whisk the oil, garlic, apple, scallion, mustard, honey, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl. Pour into a gallon-size resealable plastic bag and add the pork. Seal the bag and turn and massage the pork to work the marinade evenly into the meat. If time allows, refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Bring the vinaigrette to room temperature.
• Remove the pork from the marinade and lightly season with salt and black pepper. Grill the pork, turning once, until grill marks appear and the center is rosy pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Stir the black-eyed pea vinaigrette and spoon all over the pork. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

ROASTED PORK WITH BLACK-EYED-PEA SALAD

• Place pork on a rimmed baking sheet; rub with oil. Sprinkle all over with spice mixture, patting in gently. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of meat registers 150 degrees. 20 to 25 minutes; let cool.
• Make black-eyed pea salad: In a medium container, whisk mustard, vinegar, and oil. Add all vegetables. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine.
• Serve: If stored in refrigerator, bring pork and black-eyed pea salad to room temperature. Thinly slice pork; serve with black-eyed pea salad.

BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH BACON AND PORK

Steps:

• If using dried black-eyed peas, put them in a large pot and cover with about 4 inches of water. Soak the peas overnight, then drain the water and rinse. Alternatively, you can "quick-soak" the peas by bringing them and the water to a boil for 2 minutes. After this, remove them from the heat, cover the pot and soak the peas for 1 hour. Then, drain and rinse the peas.
• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the pork. Sear until the pork is browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the bacon, onion and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring, until the onion and garlic are lightly browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the salt, black pepper, cayenne and garlic powder. Cook until the entire mixture is coated with the spices, about 2 minutes. Pour in the stock and water and drop in the bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes.
• When the pork begins to fall apart, add the prepared peas to the pot and simmer until the peas are very soft, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours (see Cook's Note).
• Taste for seasonings, and add some hot-pepper vinegar, if desired. Discard the bay leaves and transfer the black-eyed peas to a serving bowl.
