What to do with a couple of slabs of pork when your sick of the old rosemary “blend” rub? Well here goes. Picture to be posted later.

Ingredients

  • 2 Pork Tenderloins (about 2.5 lbs total)
  • 1 cup plain (greek) yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced or grated
  • 1 lemon, juice of
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated onion

Directions

  1. Prepare all the marinade ingredients in a non reactive container. Like a stainless bowl…or maybe a marble challis. Whatever you have.
  2. Split your two tenderloins so that you have 4 strips and cube by slicing in 1/2 inch increments.
  3. Drop the pork in the bowl and stir until all the bits are covered with marinadey goodness.
  4. Wait with high anticipation for at least 4 hours while your mixture congeals. Overnight is best but who plans that far in advance. I mean really!
  5. Pull your mixture from the fridge and gaze in wonder at what used to be boring old pork, which has now become a magical food with many healing properties, mostly it cures hunger.
