CARIBBEAN-SPICED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEACH SALSA

Caribbean-Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Peach Salsa image

I love this recipe because of the depth of flavors and burst of colors. It's quick and easy to make. It's best when peaches are in season, but you could try strawberries or pineapple instead. -Holly Bauer, West Bend, Wisconsin

CAJUN PORK TENDERLOIN WITH TROPICAL SALSA

Categories Pork Pastry

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds trimmed pork tenderloin
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons Cajun or blackened seasoning, or more to taste
Olive oil spray
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/3 cups papaya mango, pineapple, or any other tropical salsa, preferably fresh (I used Trader Joe's Papaya Mango Salsa)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Rub the tenderloin evenly with the olive oil. Then rub the Cajun seasoning evenly over it. Let it stand for 15 minutes.
Heat a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, lightly mist it with spray. Cook the tenderloin until it is just browned all over, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove it from the heat. Using a pastry brush or your fingers, rub the honey evenly over the tenderloin. If one end is very narrow, tuck it under to make it an equal thickness with the rest of the tenderloin. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook the tenderloin (uncovered) until there is just a hint of pink inside or a meat thermometer reaches 155°F, l6 to l8 minutes.
Remove the tenderloin from the oven and immediately place a sheet of foil loosely over it (not over the whole pan). Allow it to sit for 10 minutes. Transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board. Holding your knife at a 45-degree angle, slice it into thin slices. Serve immediately with salsa.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pod cardamom seeds
½ teaspoon water, or as needed
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
½ cup sugar
1 mango - peeled, seeded, and chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cilantro
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, minced
1 ½ cups unsweetened applesauce
3 pineapple rings, chopped
1 pinch white pepper
⅓ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup rice wine vinegar
6 pork chops

Steps:

With a mortar and pestle, mash together the garlic, chili powder, cayenne, and cardamom seeds. Mix in enough water to form a paste.
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in spice paste, and cook until it begins to bubble, about 30 seconds. Stir in vinegar; cook without boiling for 2 minutes. Stir in sugar until it dissolves. Mix in mango, salt, cilantro, lemon juice, and jalapeno; simmer 20 minutes. Stir in applesauce and pineapple; simmer 10 minutes more. Season with white pepper. Place in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
To prepare marinade, mix 2/3 cup of the salsa with soy sauce and 1/3 cup vinegar. Place pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag, and pour marinade over chops. Seal tightly, and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Drain marinade from bag, and heat in a saucepan until boiling.
Lightly oil grill grate. Place pork chops on the hot grill. Cook 10 minutes, or to desired doneness, turning once and basting occasionally with the boiled marinade.
Warm remaining salsa over medium-low heat. Serve pork chops topped with the salsa.
