We are NOT pork people. Not because we don't like it, but because we just don't know how to cook it and never think to buy it. We recently found this recipe in "Cook this, Not that" and we really like it.
1 Lb Pork tenderloin
1 tbsp Dijon or grainy mustard
1/2 tbsp honey
1/2 tbsp chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
4 (1/2 inch thick) slices pineapple, core removed
(Fresh or canned works fine)
1 Red onion, minced
1 Jalapeno pepper, minced
1/2 Cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
Preheat grill. Combine the mustard, honey, chili powder and a good sprinkle of salt and pepper and rub all over the tenderloin. Place the pork and the pineapple slices on the grill. Grill the pineapple for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly charred and softened. Grill the tenderloin, turning once or twice, for about 10 minutes, until lightly charred and firm (but yielding) to the touch (an internal thermometer should read no more than 160F). Let the pork rest for at least 5 minutes.
While the pork rests, chop the pineapple into bite-sized pieces. Combine with the onion, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice. Season with a bit of salt and pepper. Slice the pork and serve with salsa on top.
This is such a fresh and light tasting meal. And only 210 Calories per serving! It's also a great change to your normal grilling foods.
