Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Two 1-pound pork tenderloins
1 cup Japanese (panko) breadcrumbs
1 cup finely chopped pecans
4 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 egg whites
One 12-ounce jar raspberry preserves
2 tablespoons adobo sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • For the pork: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare the pork tenderloins by rinsing under cold water. Pat dry and set aside.
  • Combine the breadcrumbs, pecans, rosemary, salt and pepper in a 9-by-13-inch pan. Set aside. Place the egg whites in a small bowl and whip slightly.
  • Brush the tenderloins with the whipped egg whites. Then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Place on a baking sheet. Bake until done, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest about 10 minutes prior to slicing.
  • For the raspberry-chipotle sauce: Combine the raspberry preserves with the adobo sauce.
  • To serve: Slice the tenderloins and serve with the raspberry-chipotle sauce.

Tips:

  • To achieve a perfectly cooked pork tenderloin, use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
  • For a crispy and flavorful crust, press the chipotle-rubbed pork tenderloin firmly into the crushed tortilla chips before searing.
  • To add an extra layer of smokiness, use a cast-iron skillet or grill pan for searing the pork tenderloin.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, use a combination of regular chili powder and smoked paprika instead of the chipotle chili powder.
  • Serve the chipotle-crusted pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Conclusion:

The chipotle-crusted pork tenderloin is an easy-to-prepare yet impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of smoky, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors, along with the crispy tortilla chip crust, creates a truly unforgettable dish.
