PORK TENDERLOIN VERONIQUE 
2 pork-loin tenderloins, trimmed
24 green grapes, halved, seeded, if necessary
1/4 c. butter
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 onion, quartered
1 carrot, sliced
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp. dried leaf thyme
1/2 c. white wine
1/2 c. chicken stock
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 egg yolk

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Cut tenderloin halfway through lengthwise; open out. Sandwich 24 grape halves together with 1/4 cup butter; arrange filled grapes down the center of 1 tenderloin. Place second tenderloin on top to form a roast; tie with string.

3. Place tenderloin roast in a shallow roasting pan. Arrange onion, carrot and bay leaf around roast; sprinkle with thyme. Pour wine and stock around roast. Roast in preheated oven for 1 1/4 hours or until done. Pork should reach an internal temperature of 170 degrees.

4. Move roast to a warm serving platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Remove fat from cooking liquid. Strain liquid into a medium saucepan.

5. Cream flour and butter to make beurre manie'; gradually whisk flour mixture into strained cooking liquid. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened. In a small bowl, beat egg yolk lightly; stir in some of hot sauce. Return mixture to saucepan; simmer sauce 2-3 minutes. Pour sauce over roast; garnish with remaining grape halves. Makes 4 servings.

I misunderstood the directions on my original try of this recipe and came up with an incredible result ... I buttterflied each of the loins ... Cut in half then cut the edges in half again butterflied the surface .... Placed the grapes and roiled each back to it's original shape ... Placed the re rolled loins into the pan then added the remaining ingredients ... Cooked them to perfection ... Rested the meat while preparing the gravy ... Cutting each of the loins into medalions ... Arranged three slices each on the plate then drizzled each with the gravy ... Served with garlic roasted Parmesan heirloom multi coloured potatoes and oven-roasted parme asparagus ... To die for!!
