This is one flavorful entree with a lot of kick! Heat from the chipotle really comes through, and mustard-lovers are sure to savor this fun, fast-fixing meal maker. Serve with plenty of ice-cold lemonade or iced tea. Linda Foreman - Locust Grove, OK Ingredients:
1/2 cup honey dijon mustard |
1/3 cup minced fresh cilantro |
1/4 cup lime juice |
1 tablespoon minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 pork tenderloin (1 pound) |
chopped honey-roasted peanuts, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Pour 1/2 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
2. Drain and discard marinade from pork. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill pork, covered, over indirect medium-hot heat for 25-40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
3. Heat reserved mustard mixture; brush over pork before serving. Sprinkle with peanuts if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
