THERE'S a simple seasonal meal made of ingredients that are readily available in supermarkets, with two possible exceptions: the fresh rosemary and the Italian frying peppers. If fresh rosemary cannot be found, dried rosemary will do. The frying peppers, which are elongated and pale green, have a more delicate flavor than green bell peppers, but if necessary bell peppers can be used. Grilled Rosemary Pork Tenderloin 8 ounces pork tenderloin 1 clove garlic Enough sprigs fresh rosemary to yield 1 tablespoon chopped or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary 1/2 cup dry red wine Pan spray.

2. Crush garlic; rinse and remove leaves from rosemary stems, and chop. Combine garlic and rosemary with wine, and pour over pork. Turn pork to marinate well.

3. When ready to cook pork, spray stove-top grill with pan spray, and heat. Place pork slices on grill. Cook for about 5 minutes total, turning once and basting once or twice with marinade.
