Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons fennel seeds
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 pork tenderloins (1 package contains 2 loins)
Olive oil, for searing
Cranberry Chutney, for serving, recipe follows
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon chile flakes
Pinch ground clove
One 6-ounce bag dried cranberries (see Cook's Note)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cinnamon, chili, cumin, fennel, paprika, pepper and salt.
  • Rub each pork loin generously with the seasoning blend. Let the pork sit 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Preheat a large, oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Place the pork tenderloins in the pan and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Place the seared pork into the oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer reads 155 to 160 degrees F, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the tenderloins from the oven, place them on a plate or cutting board, tent with foil and allow the meat to rest 10 minutes.
  • Cut the pork into 1-inch thick slices and spoon liberal amounts of Cranberry Chutney over the pork and enjoy!
  • In a medium saucepot, add the onions, garlic, 1/2 to 3/4 cup water, vinegar, sugar, ginger, allspice, fennel, chile and cloves. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Add the cranberries to the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the mixture until the cranberries have reconstituted and start softening and breaking down. If too much liquid evaporates, just add more water and keep cooking until you achieve the desired consistency. The chutney should be on the firmer/chunkier side of a jelly. Once the chutney is cooked, season with salt and pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great! The pork was tender and juicy, and the chutney was flavorful and complemented the pork perfectly. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs. The pork was a little dry as well. Overall, it was an okay dish, but I wouldn't make it again.

Delicious! The chutney really made this dish. I used a mango chutney and it was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The pork was cooked perfectly and was very tender. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit with my family! The pork was cooked beautifully and the chutney was the perfect accompaniment. The flavors were well-balanced and the dish had a great texture. I'll definitely be making this again.
