Mexican Pork With Escabeche Spice Rub Recipes

SPICE-RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ZESTY QUINOA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Put the quinoa in a medium saucepan filled two-thirds full of water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until the grains are tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and rinse the quinoa under cold water. Drain again, then return to the pot.
• Meanwhile, combine the coriander, cumin and 1 garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a mortar and pestle coarsely crush to make a rough paste (alternatively use a small food processor). Rub the pork tenderloin all over with the spice mixture.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat until very hot. Add the pork tenderloin and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork until just cooked through, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 150 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes.
• Combine the spinach, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add to the quinoa along with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan. Slice the pork tenderloin and divide between 4 plates with the quinoa. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon cheese and a few cilantro leaves for garnish.
