I had been making the pork tenderloin role of this dish for years ... when my Mom came upward amongst the bright stance of pairing it amongst Mango Salsa. Brilliant, I say. Genius! It's such a wonderful combination.
To larn the sweet-&-spicy flavour combination, the pork tenderloin is marinated inwards a mixture of chocolate-brown sugar, love apple tree paste, cumin, together with chili powder. This forms a fabulously tasty crust on the pork i time it baked. Just accept a hold back at that flavorful crust ...
When it comes out of the oven, permit it residue for 10 minutes (or a few more) earlier slicing to allow the juices to distribute throughout the meat (THIS IS IMPORTANT!). This ensures moist morsels of meat, rather than the tenderloin juices only leaching out all over your cutting board when you lot while it. You don't desire that. You desire juicy tenderness.
Place the tenderloin slices on a platter together with spoon mango salsa on occur ... together with serve upward delicious melt-in-your oral fissure sweet-and-spicy goodness. It's together with thus good, you lot powerfulness desire to brand a double batch! I'm only sayin'.
Thanks, Mom, for taking a identify unit of measurement favorite together with making it fifty-fifty better!
