Preparation
Cut tenderloin lengthwise almost in half. Lay out flat. Chill. Combine
next seven ingredients in food processor; puree. Add olive oil slowly until mixture thickens.
Spread half of mixture over tenderloin. Spread grated cheese over pesto. Reform tenderloin and
tie to secure. Spread remaining pesto over tenderloin. Chill for several hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place tenderloin on a rack in a shallow
baking pan and roast until firm, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, cover and keep warm. Let
rest for 10 minutes, reserving all juices.
Remove string from tenderloin and cut into eight slices. Arrange on
plates. Pour any warm juices over slices. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts to serve.
