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.

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.

Keep warm over low heat and serve with the pork.

MOROCCAN SPICED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH DRIED PLUMS
Dried Plums sounds so much nicer than prunes doesn't it. The way the flavors come together in this dish is really lovely. There is a misconception that Moroccan cuisine does not include pork. Morocco is home to Muslims who do not eat pork, and Christians who do cook with pork however.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the marinade and pour over the tenderloins. Marinate the pork tenderloin for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- While the pork is marinating, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the onions, shallots, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside in the pan.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and pat them dry. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloins on all sides in the dry, hot skillet and finish cooking in the oven until the pork is just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Place the tenderloins on a cutting board and let them rest 2 to 3 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, place the onion mixture over medium heat and add the dried plums. Cook for 1 minute and add the apple cider. Bring to a boil and cook until the cider reduces a little and becomes syrupy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Slice the pork, place a few slices on each plate along with some of the dried plum mixture and a drizzle of the cider syrup.

Tips:
- To ensure your pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Don't overcrowd the grill. Leave some space between the pork tenderloin and other items on the grill to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the pork tenderloin in a grill pan over medium heat. Just be sure to preheat the pan well before adding the pork.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Grilled Moroccan-Spiced Pork Tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The pork is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices, then grilled to perfection. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or couscous.
