Pork Tenderloin in Corn Bread
 
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour (I used 1/2 & !/2 bread & all-purpose flour I would have used just bread flour but ran out)
1/4 cup cornmeal (I used stone ground)
1 t sugar
3/4 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/4 cup oil
1 egg, beaten
3 T water
2-3 T snipped fresh cilantro
1 t chili powder
1/4 t salt
1/4 t black pepper (I was out so used white pepper)
1 12-14 oz pork tenderloin
3/4 cup salsa or picante sauce

Mix flour, cornmeal, sugarm baking powder and 1/4 t salt. Combine oil, egg and water, Stir liquid mixture into dry mixture until well blended, forming a ball.

Combine Cilantro, chili powder, salt and pepper, and run on pork, coating evenly. Roll or pat the corn bread mixture out on lightly floured wax paper until about 8 " square. Roll the dough around the tenderloin, seal edge and ends, and place seam side down in dutch oven.

This needs to cook in a hot (~425) oven until the meat reaches 155-160 degrees.

Serve with Salsa.
