Recipes for Pork Loin

Pork Recipes - Sassy Mojo Pork Recipe

Serving Size : 6

2 3/4 - 1 pound pork tenderloins

4 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, — rinsed (2 ounce)

1/2 cup orange juice

1/4 cup coarsely chopped onion

2 tablespoons snipped fresh oregano or 2 teaspoon dried

oregano — crushed

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon cooking oil

3 cloves garlic — minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

fresh oregano leaves — optional

Place meat in a large plastic bag set in a shallow dish.

For marinade: in a food processor bowl or blender container combine chipotle

peppers, orange juice, onion, oregano, lime juice, honey, oil, garlic and

salt. Cover and process or blend until nearly smooth. Pour over meat. Close bag.

Marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours. (Do not marinate more than 2 hours

because the citrus juices cause meat to become too tender and mushy. Drain

meat and discard marinade.

In a grill with a cover, arrange preheated coals around drip pan. Test for

medium heat where meat will cook. Insert a meat thermometer near the center

of one of the tenderloins. Place the meat on a rack in a roasting pan on

the grill rack. Cover and grill for 30 to 45 minutes or until meat

thermometer registers 160 degrees.

Remove pork from grill. Cover with foil; let stand 5 minutes before

carving. Garnish with oregano leaves, if desired.

Description:

“The word “mojo” comes from a Spanish word which means wet. Mojos are

used as sauces or marinades.”
