Smoky Paprika Pork image

Lovely simple pork-dish. Adapted from a James Martin recipe, he used 1 tablespoon of salt and to my taste that was far too much, but feel free to add more! I use a mix of sweet and hot smoked paprika powder. Marinating time not included

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin (approx)
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika, your own choice,sweet,hot or smoked
1 teaspoon grated lemons, zest of or 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 -2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
lemon slice, to serve

Steps:

  • Mix all the spices with the olive oil, you should get a thick paste.
  • Rub this on the pork, put the pork in a plastic bag and marinate in the fridge, minimal 4 hours but preferably overnight.
  • To be on the safe side, put the pork in the bag in a dish, once my bag leaked and the fridge was orange!
  • Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking, there will be juices now in the bag, you can use them for basting if you want.
  • Heat up a grill pan, no oil, and fry 7 to 8 minutes on each side, longer if you want the pork more well done, it will also depend on the thickness of the pork.
  • Cut in diagonal slices and serve with the lemon.
  • This also very nice done on the barbeque.
  • You can cut down on the cooking time by cutting the meat in slices before cooking.
