Caribbean Spiced Pork Tenderloin #Recipe @PegCochran

Writers are often on deadline, and I'm sure all of you frequently have deadlines of your own.  That means a dinner that's quick and easy.  But it doesn't have to mean bland!  This pork tenderloin, spiced with cinnamon, cumin and chili powder and covered with a glaze is anything but ordinary!  But it's easy to make and doesn't take much time.

I made a few adaptations.  My tenderloin was 1/4 lb. shy of 1.5 lbs. so I reduced the quantity of the glaze and I cut back on the sriracha because hubby has a sensitive mouth when it comes to hot things!  You can play with it, and it still comes out great.

Ingredients:

1.5 - 2 lbs. pork tenderloin

Rub:
2 TBL olive oil
2 tsps. salt
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. black pepper

Glaze:
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 TBL minced garlic
1 TBL sriracha 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Heat the olive oil in an oven proof skillet over medium high heat until hot.

Whisk together the ingredients for the rub. Use your fingers to rub it all over the tenderloin.






Place tenderloin in hot skillet and brown on all sides.


Mix the glaze ingredients and spread mixture over the tenderloin.


Place in preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until cooked through.





Slice and serve with pan juices drizzled over the top.

The USA Today bestselling author of Unholy Matrimony is back with a new Lucille Mystery! This time Lucille must track down the killer of a diet guru who had a lot more to lose than just a few extra pounds.

With her best friend Flo’s wedding approaching, Lucille is desperate to trim down and joins Weigh to Lose, a weight-loss program led by a clipboard-wielding harridan who’s as unattractively thin as she is shrill. When the bossy woman turns up dead with her throat slashed and a tasty-looking cannoli stuffed in her mouth, Lucille figures she got her just desserts.



But when the local police come up empty-handed, Lucille sinks her teeth into the mystery and narrows the list of suspects to a husband with a wandering eye, a sexy young Swedish au pair, and a gambler deep in debt to the wrong people. Until one of the suspects becomes the victim of another gruesome murder.



Afraid she’s bitten off more than she can chew and worried that she might be next on the killer’s list, Lucille puts her own neck on the line with a wild plan to trap the culprit and tip the scales of justice.

If you want a very funny murder mystery, then this book is for you. I’ve never laughed so hard while reading before.” —Goodreads, on Unholy Matrimony, Book 2 in the USA Today bestselling Lucille Mystery Series

    1. It was a different taste but very "seductive!"

  2. I’ve never tried a glaze on pork tenderloin. I usually just bake it in the oven with a dry rub. Then I slice the leftover for sandwiches and drizzle the slices with warm bbq sauce.

    1. Pork tenderloins are so versatile! I've done them lots of different ways. We always enjoy them.

  3. This sounds like a tasty, easy winner. Well done.
    (Does "well done" sound like I'm suggesting the pork be over-cooked? I'll assume you are linguistically clever enough to understand what I mean!) ;o)

  4. I'd have to cut back on the sriracha, too. I like spicy flavors, however not too much spice.
