topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 900 g pork tenderloin (usually 2 small pieces)
  • 4 crushed Scotch bonnet peppers (Please, put on gloves!)
  • 1 serrano pepper, stemmed and seeded
  • 2 cups chopped green onions
  • Zest and juice of 1 orange
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons of salt
  • 2 tsp. brown sugar
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • Mango Salsa (see recipe below)
  • Boiled rice (optional)

    Mango salsa:

  • 1 mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup diced red pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup shredded mint leaves
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 1 crushed jalapeño pepper
  • Salt and ground black pepper

Preparation:

  1. Place all ingredients except pork and salsa in a blender and blend until smooth.

    Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag, add the marinade, and seal the bag. Make sure the meat is evenly coated with the marinade. Refrigerate the bag for 4-24 hours; the longer the meat marinates, the better.
  2. Preheat the grill to high. Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade.

    Grill the pork for 5-6 minutes per side, until the outside is charred and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 145°F (63°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. To serve, slice thinly across the grain and serve immediately with mango salsa and rice.

    Mango salsa: Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Yield: approximately 2 tbsp.
