Time: 45 minutes. Try pairing this bright citrus salsa with chicken or fish as well as pork. Ingredients:
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb.) |
2 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided |
1 1/2 teaspoons finely shredded lime zest |
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes) |
1/4 cup honey |
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided |
1 small meyer lemon, cut in half horizontally, ends trimmed |
peeled segments from 4 pink grapefruits, drained |
peeled segments from 2 navel oranges, drained |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves |
1/4 cup chopped roasted, unsalted pistachios |
Directions:
1. Preheat a grill for medium heat (350° to 450°). Rub pork with 1/2 tsp. oil. In a bowl, whisk together zest, juice, honey, and 3/4 tsp. salt and divide between 2 bowls.
2. Grill lemon, turning occasionally, until very soft, about 8 minutes, and grill pork, turning occasionally and brushing with half the lime glaze, until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part reaches 145°, about 20 minutes.
3. Let lemon cool, remove seeds and central white core, and chop finely. Transfer pork to a platter, tent with foil, and let rest about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, boil remaining glaze in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
4. In a bowl, combine remaining 2 tsp. oil, grapefruits, oranges, thyme, remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, chopped lemon, and pistachios.
5. Slice pork, brush with thickened glaze, and serve with citrus salsa.
