Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon whole white peppercorns
1 tablespoon whole coriander
4 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
3 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
4 tablespoons sea salt, preferably gray
2 (2-pound) boneless pork tenderloins
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, toast white peppercorns and coriander seeds until they begin to pop. Remove from heat and grind to fine powder in a spice mill or coffee grinder. Mix the ground pepper and coriander with remaining spices, cocoa and salt.
  • Trim the pork tenderloins of fat and silver skin. Rub with a generous amount of the cocoa spice rub. Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat until hot but not smoking. Sear each tenderloin on all sides until a rich brown color, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove tenderloins from heat and finish in the oven for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Let the tenderloins rest out of the oven for at least 10 minutes before carving.
  • Extra cocoa spice rub will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

This recipe was a disaster. The pork was overcooked and the rub was way too spicy.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pork turned out dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
