Spice-Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Peach Salsa

Cooking time:
20–25 minutes

Ingredients

2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon canola oil
450 grams pork tenderloin, trimmed
Salsa

1 cup diced peeled peach (1 large)
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper (1/2 small)
1/4 cup chopped scallions (2 medium)
2 tablespoons minced seeded jalapeño chili pepper (1 medium)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Pinch of salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the grill.
  2. To make the salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the peach, bell pepper, scallions, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, cilantro, and salt and toss to mix well.
  3. To make the pork: In a small bowl, combine the cumin, brown sugar, paprika, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper. Add the oil and mix well. Rub the spice paste over the pork.
  4. Lightly oil the grill rack by rubbing it with a piece of oil-soaked paper towel. Grill the pork, covered, over medium heat, turning occasionally, until it reaches an internal temperature of 65°C, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Cut into slices 1-cm thick.
