Turn the chops over in the pan and place in the oven until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached, about 10 minutes. Drizzle the chops with Ancho Chili Pepper Barbecue Sauce and serve immediately with plenty of sauce for dipping.

PECAN-COATED ROAST LOIN OF PORK

Steps:

• Rub the pork loin with olive oil, making sure that it is well covered. Combine the sage, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper and brown sugar in the bowl of a food processor or blender and pulse until you have a thick paste. You may have to add a drizzle of olive oil to get it started. Slather the paste all over the pork loin, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it over night.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the pecans in the bowl of a food processor or blender and pulse until they are finely chopped. Roll the pork loin in the crushed pecans and place it in a roasting pan. Make a tent of aluminum foil and arrange it over the pork loin, covering the nuts completely so they won't char.
• Roast for 30 minutes; then lower the heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast. After 1 hour and 20 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and continue to roast until the pork is done, approximately 20 minutes more. Serve hot.

PECAN ENCRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim silver skin and as much fat as possible from the tenderloins. The first thing makes it more tender, the second thing makes it healthier.
• Whip egg whites until frothy, then add a good quality mustard (honey mustard is a favorite of ours) to the mixture and beat until well blended.
• On one side of the bowl with whipped egg whites, have flour mixed with salt and pepper.
• On the other side of the egg bowl, have mixture of half coarsely chopped pecans and plain bread crumbs.
• Just beyond the tray that has the pecan/breadcrumb mixture, have a roasting pan that has been sprayed with vegetable oil.
• Dredge the tenderloins through the flour until coated, then dip in the egg mixture, roll in the pecan/breadcrumb mixture and place in the roasting pan. This is really messy, so much so that I almost invariably wash my hands between tenderloins.
• Don't worry too much about how this looks, but be sure that the tenderloin is pretty much covered with the pecan/breadcrumb mixture.
• Spray the exposed parts of the roast with a little vegetable oil. This will help crisp up the crust while baking.
• Bake in a 425 or 450 degree oven until the internal temperature is about 160 degrees. We do use a meat thermometer when we make this recipe. Usually 25-35 minutes,.
• Remove from oven and let sit for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a sauce pan combine equal parts of heavy cream and the same mustard you combined with the egg whites. Heat this mixture stove top until it thickens a bit.
• Slice the tenderloins (about ½ to ¾ inches thick is about right), trying to keep as much of the crust on the meat as possible. Some will come off. Don't worry about it.
• If you are serving family style, lay the pieces on a platter and then drizzle the sauce over pieces. If you are serving restaurant style, place 1-3 pieces on a plate, drizzle sauce over the pieces, and then around them.
