The sauce is similar to a peanut sauce and would be delicious served as a dip for chicken satay.

  

1 pork tenderloin

Sea salt and pepper

Olive oil

Sauce:

¼ cup almond butter

2 ½ tablespoons tamari sauce

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

1 to 1 ½ teaspoons chili garlic sauce (add 1/2 teaspoon at a time until you reach desired heat level)

2 green onions, thinly sliced

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Rub pork with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat an ovenproof skillet to medium high. Brown pork on all sides. Place the pan in the oven and roast the pork about 20 minutes or until desired level of doneness.

While the pork is cooking, use a fork to mix together all the ingredients for the sauce. Blend until creamy.

To serve, place several slices of pork on a dish and top with sauce and some of the green onions.
