SOUTHWESTERN PORK TENDERLOIN WITH WARM CORN SALAD RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Prepare Spice-Rubbed Tenderloins: In cup, blend chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Rub tenderloins all over with spice mixture. Place tenderloins on rack in small roasting pan (14" by 10"). Tuck thin ends of tenderloins under, so meat is an even thickness. Roast tenderloins 20 to 25 minutes or until internal temperature of meat reaches 150 degrees on meat thermometer (temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees upon standing). Meanwhile, prepare Warm Corn Salad: In nonstick 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add onion and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add corn and jalapeño, and cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove skillet from heat and stir in tomato, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Makes about 4 cups salad. To serve, spoon corn salad onto platter. Thinly slice tenderloins and arrange over salad. I crumbled some queso fresco over the corn salad. Feta would work, too.

ROAST LOIN OF PORK WITH SOUTHWESTERN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
• Rub the pork all over with the cut clove of garlic. Discard the garlic. Set the meat on a rack in a roasting pan.
• Remove the stems from two anchos and place the chilies in a blender jar. Chop and grind them to a fairly fine powder. Transfer this to a small mixing bowl.
• Stir in the chili powder, cayenne, oregano, thyme, cumin, garlic powder, coriander and celery salt. Stir until completely mixed. Remove a half-cup of the mixture and set aside for sauce. Rub the remainder all over the roast to coat completely.
• Set the roast in the oven and cook for 30 minutes. Transfer the meat from the oven onto a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes. It will still be raw in the center, but the cooking will be finished later; this cooling period will guarantee even cooking and very tender meat. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees.
• While the roast is cooking, start the sauce. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over low heat to render the fat. Remove the bacon from the pan and reserve. Drain off all but about two tablespoons of the fat. Add the minced garlic and saute for one minute. Add the red and green peppers, poblano, ancho, tomatoes and onion. Sprinkle the reserved spice mixture over the vegetables and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they are soft, about 15 minutes. Pour the red wine over the vegetables and cook until the mixture is reduced to just a glaze. Pour in the veal stock and continue cooking over medium heat until the liquid is reduced by about half, about 15 minutes. Crumble the reserved bacon into the sauce. Keep it warm while finishing the roast.
• Return the pork roast to the oven at 375 degrees. Cook 20 to 25 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 137 degrees. Remove from the oven and transfer to a rack. Let cool slightly before slicing into medallions.
• Serve the roast on a pool of the vegetable sauce, with corn pudding on the side.
