Roasted Pork Tenderloin
- 2 pork tenderloins, totally trimmed (if you dont eat
Pork, use a Roasted Beef Tenderloin)
For the marinade:
- ˝ red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 head garlic, cut in half crosswise, root discarded, broken up and peeled
- 1 sour orange, cut in half
- 1 orange, cut in half
- 1 lime, cut in half
- 1 Scotch bonnet chile, stem removed, cut in half
- 1 cup virgin olive oil (use 1/3) to much oil
- 12 black peppercorns, toasted and lightly bruised
- ˝ bunch cilantro, cleaned and very roughly chopped
- 1 bay leaf, broken
For the spice rub:
- 2 t. each cumin and black pepper freshly toasted and ground
- 1 t. sugar
- 1 t. salt
- 1 T. olive oil
Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a plastic bag in a pan or bowl. Squeeze the
juice from the fruit, then toss the pieces in, rind and all). Immerse the meat in the
marinade, and close the bag. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 12.
Combine the cumin, black pepper, sugar and salt. Remove the pork from the marinade,
blotting excess marinade as necessary. Place the pork on a large plate, and rub it until
blended with the spices.
Heat a heavy sauté pan. Add the oil and then add the pork tenderloins.
Sear them on all sides for a total of about 7 minutes. Remove any excess oil, place the
pan in a 400 degree oven and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork is cooked to
medium finish. Rest them on a cutting board in a warm place. The gas barbecue works great.
More from Paula PriceI have always indulged in fine restaurants and
expanded my knowledge of foods and wine through classes and research. Like many people, I
entered a weight roller coaster sparked by personal and medical problems. This roller coaster ended with me at my all time
high weight. I pulled my self out of this roller coaster with a balanced diet and
exercise.
In 1999, I became
a personal Chef specializing in healthy meals.
I registered for
the San Francisco Aids Bike ride for June 2001, which is a 575 mile ride from San
Francisco to Los Angeles. I'm proud of myself
and what I have accomplished. I am now happy
and at a healthy weight.
My
life is an example of why its important for people to be healthy and cut the fat. |
