Ingredients
- 1 pork loin
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp natural cocoa powder
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 medium mango, sliced and cut into chunks
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 small shallot, minced
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 F. Rinse your pork loin and trim any fat to make the surface of the loin smooth for rubbing. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder and the cocoa. Then use your hands to rub the mixture evenly over the pork.
Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Brown the tenderloin in the skillet on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Being careful not to lose the juices, transfer the pork loin to a Pyrex pan and slide into the oven. Cook for 12-15 more minutes. Check the loin after that time period by cutting into it. If still pink, cook a few minutes longer.
In a small bowl, lightly mix mango, cilantro, shallot and lemon juice. Serve with slices of pork.
