Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Put the quinoa in a medium saucepan filled two-thirds full of water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until the grains are tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and rinse the quinoa under cold water. Drain again, then return to the pot.
- Meanwhile, combine the coriander, cumin and 1 garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a mortar and pestle coarsely crush to make a rough paste (alternatively use a small food processor). Rub the pork tenderloin all over with the spice mixture.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat until very hot. Add the pork tenderloin and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork until just cooked through, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 150 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Combine the spinach, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add to the quinoa along with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan. Slice the pork tenderloin and divide between 4 plates with the quinoa. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon cheese and a few cilantro leaves for garnish.

Steps:
- Option 1: "Plain" but seasoned:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Season pork all over with 1 tsp. salt. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large, heavy, ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high. Sear pork, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and roast, flipping pork halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of meat registers 145°F for medium/medium-rare, 10-12 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board (reserve skillet if you're going for Option 3) and let rest at least 5 minutes. Slice into medallions. Meanwhile, toss grains with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and 3/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Fold in cucumbers and tomatoes, or serve them alongside.
- Option 2: A little more flavor:
- Before searing pork, add cumin, brown sugar, and 1 tsp. pepper to 1 tsp. salt. Rub all over pork, then follow cooking directions above. Fold lemon juice and remaining 1/4 tsp. pepper into grain salad. Top salad with feta before serving.
- Option 3: Take it next level:
- After searing pork, drain excess fat from skillet and heat over medium. Add harissa and cook, stirring constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon, until bubbling and slightly browned, about 30 seconds. Pour in wine or broth, increase heat to high, and cook, scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and add butter, one piece at a time, whisking to incorporate after each addition until emulsified. Stir in lemon juice, if using (we especially like it with the chicken broth-based sauce); season with salt and pepper. Fold herbs and olives into grain salad. Divide pork and salad among plates and serve sauce alongside.

JULIA CHILD'S PORK WITH ALLSPICE DRY RUB
The allspice is really what makes this recipe, adapted from "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child, which was featured in a New York Times article about readers' favorite recipes from her cookbooks. It is a simple process: make a dry rub, cover a well-marbled pork loin with it for at least 6 hours, and then roast or grill the meat. A few minutes' preparation before work yields a fine roast for a late supper, or the same time spent on a weekend brings a fine feast in for dinner.
