Peach And Basil-Stuffed Pork Tenderloin - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
    3 tablespoons butter, diced
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
    1 teaspoon salt, divided
    1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
    2 (1 1/2 lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed
    2 (4 ounce) packages thinly sliced prosciutto
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 cups chicken broth
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
    1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
Preparation
    In a medium bowl, stir together peaches, butter, basil, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
    Butterfly pork tenderloin, cutting to but not through pork. Open pork, and place between 2 sheets of heavy duty plastic wrap; pound pork to 1/4\" thickness. Spoon peach mixture down center of each tenderloin. Fold over to enclose filling, and wrap pork in prosciutto. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add pork, and cook for 3 minutes per side or until prosciutto begins to brown. Place skillet in oven, and bake for 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 145 degrees. Remove pork from skillet, and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
    Add broth to skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, scraping browned bits from bottom of skillet with a wooden spoon. Cook until broth is reduced to 1 cup; whisk in basil and mustard. Serve sauce over pork.
