Tenderloin And Crab Meat
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. In a small bowl, combine the salt, white pepper, red pepper and thyme; mix well and set aside. Place the pork on a flat surface and cut a deep 3" long slit in the center to form a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through the meat. Sprinkle the seasoning mix on the outside surface and inside the pocket; set aside. Spray the inside of a medium skillet with nonstick vegetable cooking spray (or use some olive oil) and place over high heat. Add the onions and bell pepper and saut for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the stock and the remaining seasoning mix. Reduce the heat to simmer; stir in the soy sauce, lemon juice, bread cubes and crabmeat. Cook for 1 minute, or until the mixture is firm but not dry. Remove from the heat. Spoon into the pocket and secure with toothpicks or tie up with some cotton string. Spray the inside of an 8"square baking dish with nonstick vegetable cooking spray or oil with some olive oil. Place the pork in the dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes, turning once during cooking. Uncover and cook for 10 minutes more. Turn the pork over and cook for 10 minutes longer, or until brown. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
