• 1 1/2 lb. pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 8 slices

Directions
Using flat side of meat mallet, flatten meat between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to 1/2 inch thick. For marinade, in a bowl, combine coconut milk, ginger, garlic, salt and cayenne. Add meat; turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 3 hours, turning meat occasionally. Drain meat and discard marinade.
In shallow dish, beat eggs with fork. In food processor, cover and pulse nuts and shredded coconut just until finely chopped. Dip meat slices in egg, turning to coat. Lightly sprinkle both sides with nut mixture.
In 10-inch heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add meat, half at a time, and cook 4 to 6 minutes or until slightly pink in center, turning once and adding remaining 1 tablespoon oil if needed. Serve with Mango Salsa.
