the skins. Using a small knife peel from tip to stem. Trim the stem as
little as possible and cut an X in the root tip. Set the onions aside. Heat

thermometer inserted into the pork reads 135F. Meanwhile, combine honey and

the oven. Transfer the pork to a platter and let sit for 5 minutes before
serving. Add the parsley to the onion-fig mixture and beat in the butter.

1/4-inch slices and lay slices over the compote. Accompany with honey
