Roast Pork Puertoricano image

I adapted this recipe from a recipe I copied from a cookbook a while ago. It's pretty simple to make and tastes really fresh and different from most other roast pork recipes. I serve it with rice and beans and a tomato salad.

Time 32m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 orange, zest of, grated
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 jalapeno peppers, sliced (discard most of the seeds)
4 garlic cloves, chopped roughly
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 lb pork tenderloin

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a big covered dish or a gallon-size plastic storage bag. Try to squeeze out all the air.
  • Marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours but if possible overnight. Turn the meat/bag a few time.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Add the meat to a roasting pan and add all of the marinade.
  • Roast at this temperature for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees and roast until a thermometer shows you that the pork is 165 degrees. About 20 minutes. Don't overcook or it will dry out. Let stand for 5 minutes before you cut the roast.
