Categories     main-dish

Time 9h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup ras al hanout or Moroccan spice blend
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
One 6-bone bone-in pork loin roast, frenched, chine bone removed
1 cup dried apricots
1 cup sake
1 cup chicken stock
6 cloves garlic, peeled
6 sprigs fresh cilantro
1 lemon, thinly sliced into wheels and seeds removed
1 carrot, peeled and cut into large dice
1 large onion, quartered
1 turnip, peeled and cut into large dice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Combine the ras al hanout, salt and brown sugar in a small bowl. Score the fat of the pork in a cross-hatch pattern. Rub the ras al hanout mixture all over the pork and allow to sit overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Put the pork on a rack and allow it to come to room temperature for about 45 minutes before putting it into the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Put the apricots, sake, chicken stock, garlic, cilantro, lemons, carrots, onions and turnips in the bottom of a medium roasting pan. Put the rack with the pork in the roasting pan and roast until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F for medium, 40 to 50 minutes. Allow to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
  • Transfer the drippings, vegetables and aromatics to a strainer set over a saucepan. Press the vegetables against the strainer to get as much liquid out of them as you can. Place the pan over medium heat, bring to a simmer and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low, add the butter and stir until melted. Keep warm over low heat and serve with the pork.

Time 2h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast
5 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
3 tablespoons honey, or as needed
8 baby potatoes
2 carrots, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 Anaheim chile peppers, halved and seeded
1 red onion, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt to taste
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint
1 clove garlic, finely crushed

Steps:

  • Butterfly the pork loin by cutting almost all the way through, starting on the thinnest side, keeping your knife flat and parallel to the cutting board. Stop about 1 inch from the opposite edge you started, so that the meat opens up like a book. A few more shallow cuts can be made if the pork is not opening up enough to flatten out, but do not cut all the way through, otherwise you'll end up with two pieces.
  • Season the butterflied pork on both sides with kosher salt and let sit out at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes, or 2 to 3 hours in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a roasting pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pat the tenderloin dry with a paper towel.
  • Mix cumin, coriander, ginger, black pepper, smoked paprika,cayenne, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and honey together in a bowl with a spoon. Spread about half of the spice mixture inside the butterflied pork, fold it back together, and spread the remaining mixture all over the surface. Use 3 or 4 pieces of kitchen string to tie the loin up every few inches, cutting off extra string.
  • Toss potatoes, carrots, chile peppers, and onion with olive oil and salt in a bowl.
  • Place the pork into the prepared roasting pan and surround with vegetable mixture.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loin reads at least 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 63 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn roast over with tongs in pan drippings. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Toss vegetable mixture in pan drippings and return to the oven to crisp up, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine yogurt, mint, and garlic in a small bowl for sauce.
  • Remove strings on roast. Slice, spoon pan drippings over, and serve with vegetables and yogurt sauce.

Tips:

  • Tenderize the pork: Pounding the pork tenderloin with a meat mallet helps to break down the fibers and make it more tender.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe is a blend of Moroccan spices, olive oil, and citrus juices. It helps to infuse the pork with flavor and keep it moist while grilling.
  • Grill the pork over medium heat: This will help to prevent the pork from drying out. Cook the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the pork rest before slicing: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork tenderloin.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Grilled Moroccan spiced pork tenderloin can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled fruit, or couscous.

Conclusion:

Grilled Moroccan spiced pork tenderloin is an easy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of spices, citrus, and olive oil creates a delicious and tender pork dish that is sure to please everyone at your table.
