Directions
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350℉ (180℃).
In a small bowl combine oil, salt, pepper and allspice.
Rub the pork with the mixture, cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
Steep the figs in Marsala in a small bowl for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, place the onions in warm water for 20 minutes to soften 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 the oil in a pan over high heat on the stove and brown the pork on all sides.
Remove from the heat and transfer the pork to a roasting pan.
Add onions, figs, Marsala and broth.
Cover and place in the oven for 1 hour.
Remove the cover and continue to cook another 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the pork reads 135 degrees F.
Meanwhile, combine honey and mustard and pour into a small condiment bowl.
Remove the roasting pan from 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.
To serve, mound the compote on a serving platter.
Slice the pork into ¼ inch slices and lay slices over the compote.
Accompany with honey mustard.
