Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the black-eyed peas and simmer until just tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.

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.
