Ingredients

3/4 c. fresh orange juice (yes, I use the stuff from the carton)

1/2 c. chopped onion

1/4 c. fresh lime juice (I never use the fake bottled stuff - only fresh)

1/4 c. coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped

1 T. dried oregano

1/2 t. ground cumin

1/2 t. orange zest

1/2 t. lime zest

1/2 c. olive oil

2 pork tenderloins (about 2 1/4 pounds total)

Directions

Puree first 9 ingredients in blender. Then gradually add olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/2 cup mojo to small dish; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining mojo into gallon-size resealable plastic bag - add pork , squeese all the air out of the bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 375. Heat oil in ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade, scraping off excess. Add pork to skillet and sear on all sides. Transfer skillet with pork to oven. Roast until a meat thermometer registers 145 degrees, about 20 minutes. (I like mine done more than this - do to your liking). Remove from oven and tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes.

Warm reserved mojo. Slice pork, tranfer to platter and drizzle with warmed mojo. Delish!

What a wonderful dish! Since pork seems to be one of the least expensive meets recently I am becoming more of a pork eater. Great recipe, can’t wait to give it a try.
