Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Jerk Seasoning:
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped scallions
1/2 teaspoon tamarind paste
1 small jalopeno pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Pinch dried nutmeg
Pinch ground cinnamon
2 pounds pork tenderloin
Mango Salsa:
2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted and diced
4 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
2-1/2 tablespoons golden rum
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

Set a ridged two-burner stove-top grill over medium-high heat, and using tongs and a small cloth in plain oil, rub over grill. Combine the jerk seasoning ingredients and mix well. Rub sparingly but well over entire pork tenderloin, including both ends. Reduce heat under the grill to medium heat; place pork tenderloin on the grill and, using, tongs turn the pork tenderloin every 10 minutes for a total of 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest for 5 minutes. Slice across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices and serve with mango salsa. Combine the salsa ingredients, mix well and set aside.
