1 pork tenderloin (12 oz/375 g)
2 tsp (10 mL) coarsely cracked peppercorns
1 tsp (5 mL) salt
30 slices baguette (French stick)
1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
1 oz (30 g) Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup (50 mL) light mayonnaise
1 tsp (5 mL) finely grated lemon rind
2 tsp (10 mL) lemon juice
Preparation:
Trim any fat from pork. Tuck end under to make uniform thickness; tie with kitchen string. Sprinkle with peppercorns and salt. Roast on rack in roasting pan in 375°F (190°C) oven for about 35 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted at 20-degree angle registers 160°F (70°C) and just a hint of pink remains inside.
Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil; let stand for 10 minutes. (Make-ahead: Cool, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.) Untie and slice very thinly across the grain.
Place baguette slices on baking sheet and brush with oil; broil for 2 minutes or until golden. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 24 hours.)
With vegetable peeler, peel off thin strips of Parmesan to make 30 curls; set aside. In small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon rind and lemon juice; spread over baguette slices. Top each with pork slice and cheese curl.
