This tenderloin promises a very lean entree with white pork roasted in honey, cumin, cinnamon and savory spices.

Ingredients

• ▢ ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ▢ ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ▢ ½ teaspoon Fine Pink Salt
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
• ▢ ⅛ teaspoon McCormick® Granulated Garlic
• ▢ ⅛ teaspoon ground chipotle chili pepper
• ▢ 1 pork tenderloin (1-1/4 lbs) trimmed of visible fat
• ▢ 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• ▢ 2 tablespoons honey
• ▢ 1 tablespoon garlic finely minced
• ▢ 1 ½ teaspoons hot-pepper sauce

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Lightly mist a small roasting pan or ovenproof skillet with olive oil spray. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the cumin, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, allspice, garlic powder, and chipotle pepper.
• Rub the pork tenderloin evenly with the olive oil and then rub evenly with the spice mixture until coated.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the honey, garlic, and hot-pepper sauce. Whisk to mix. Set aside.
• Set a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot enough for a spritz of water to sizzle on it.
• With an oven mitt, briefly remove the pan from the heat to lightly mist with olive oil spray.
• Place the pork in the pan. Cook for 1 minute per side, or until browned on all sides. Transfer to the prepared pan.
• With a basting brush, evenly coat the pork tenderloin with the reserved honey mixture.
• Roast the tenderloin in the oven for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the center reaches 160°F and the juices run clear.
• Remove from the oven.
• Cover the pork loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Holding a knife at a 45° angle, cut into thin slices. Serve your pork tenderloin immediately.
