Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
1 large shallot, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, minced
3 1/2 pounds pork tenderloins, trimmed, cut crosswise into 8 equal logs
12 dried corn husks, soaked in warm water 1 hour, drained, patted dry
Cranberry-Avocado Salsa

Steps:

  • Stir cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and black peppercorns in small dry skillet over medium heat until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Finely grind spice mixture in spice grinder or mini processor. Mix ground spices, shallot, olive oil, salt, and garlic in small bowl until paste forms. Rub pork on all sides with spice paste. Cover and chill at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Tear 4 corn husks lengthwise into strips 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide. Place 1 pork tenderloin log in center of each remaining corn husk. Wrap corn husks around pork and tie center and ends of each with corn husk strips as for tamales, enclosing pork completely. Place pork bundles on rack on baking sheet. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover with damp kitchen towel, then foil, and refrigerate.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake pork bundles uncovered until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of each piece registers 150°F, 35 to 45 minutes, depending on thickness of pork.
  • Place 1 pork bundle on each of 8 plates. Remove husk strip from 1 end of each; fold corn husk back slightly, exposing some of meat. Spoon Cranberry-Avocado Salsa alongside and serve.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 minced jalapeno
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
2 ripe avocados, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
3/4 cup halved cranberries
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Pita crisps or tortilla chips

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 minced jalapeno (seeds removed for less heat, if desired), and 1/4 cup chopped red onion.
  • Add 2 ripe avocados, cut into 1/4-inch pieces, 3/4 cup halved cranberries, drained well on paper towels, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper; toss gently to combine. Serve with Pita Crisps or tortilla chips, as desired.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor. Look for avocados that are deep green or black in color and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries add a tart and tangy flavor to the salsa. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed.
  • Chop the ingredients evenly: This will help to ensure that the salsa has a consistent texture. If you are using a food processor, pulse the ingredients until they are chopped to the desired size.
  • Add the lime juice at the end: Lime juice helps to brighten the flavors of the salsa. Adding it at the end will prevent it from overpowering the other ingredients.
  • Season to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.

Conclusion:

Cranberry avocado salsa is a delicious and refreshing salsa that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it with chips, crackers, or vegetables for a healthy and flavorful snack or appetizer.
