Warm Winter Rubbed Pork Tenderloin


Ingredients

Yields: 4 Servings

  • 1 1/2 lb. Pork Tenderloin

  1. Remove fat and silver skin from pork tenderloin.

  2. Rub cleaned pork tenderloin with Warm Winter, being sure all sides are covered by rub.

  3. Heat a nonstick pan to very high heat, add olive oil and then add pork to pan. Sear on all sides, and finish cooking in a 400-degree oven till done to desired temperature (I like 140 degrees F. for a slightly pink center). Let tenderloin rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing.

  4. To serve, slice tenderloin on angle. Evenly divide Sweet Potato and Kale Hash onto plates. Place sliced pork tenderloin against the mixture and top with Cherry Chipotle Chutney. Sprinkle with parsley.
