Roasted Lime Cumin Pork Tenderloin

A trio of recipes today from my Sunday evening supper. The Lime Cumin Pork tenderloin also makes delicious hot sandwiches or wraps. The Mango Lime Salsa has many uses. I use it with tortilla chips as a snack and as an accompaniment to grilled chicken and fish. I also really like it with chicken chimichangas and lime guacamole.

Serves 4

1 ½ to 2 lb whole pork tenderloin

Marinade:

¼ cup olive oil
Zest of one lime finely chopped
Juice of one lime
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp coarse ground black pepper
1 clove minced garlic

Marinate the pork tenderloin in a Ziploc bag for about an hour. Open roast in a 375 degree F oven for 30-40 minutes depending on the size of the tenderloin. Use a meat thermometer to be sure. Let the meat rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing into medallions with a very sharp knife.

Goes very well with Mango Lime Salsa.
