Name: Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Pineapple Salsa
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 2 teaspoons ground coriander; 2 teaspoons ground cumin; 1 teaspoon ground allspice; 1/2 teaspoon table salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 24 ounces pork tenderloins (2 loins), trimmed; 2 cups pineapple, cut into 1/2-inch pieces; 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro; 1 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced; 1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest; 2 tablespoons lime juice

Why This Recipe Works

The sweet pineapple balances the spiciness of the jalapeño and the spice rub.

Before You Begin

For more heat, include the jalapeño seeds in the salsa.

Instructions

Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Set wire rack inside rimmed baking sheet and place on oven rack. Combine coriander, cumin, allspice, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and cayenne in bowl.

Pat pork dry with paper towels and coat evenly with spice mixture. Transfer pork to preheated wire rack and roast until meat registers 145 degrees, about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. Transfer to carving board, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine pineapple, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime zest and juice in bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Slice pork into ¼-inch-thick slices and serve with salsa.
