This grilled pork tenderloin dish is a company-worthy dinner featuring intense and delicious flavors from the spices, plums, and blue cheese. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary |
2 teaspoons fennel seeds |
2 teaspoons coriander seeds |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 (1-pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed |
2 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, divided |
cooking spray |
8 plums, halved and pitted |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) crumbled blue cheese |
rosemary sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place first 3 ingredients in a spice or coffee grinder; process until finely ground. Combine spice mixture with salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub pork with 1 teaspoon oil. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over pork; wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours.
2. Prepare grill.
3. Place pork on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 16 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 155°, turning once. Let stand 10 minutes; slice pork crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
4. Place plum halves in a shallow dish. Drizzle with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil; toss gently to coat. Place plums cut sides down on a grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 3 minutes or until golden. Serve with cheese and pork. Garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired.
