Bought a pack the other day. Will probably pick up a couple more tonight.

Put a couple in a ziploc with some soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and parsley, to sit overnight. Roasted at 425 for about 30 minutes. Made a jezebel sauce to go with. My family of 4 demolished it last night.

The other one from the pack is ready to go tomorrow night.

i'll get several more, for both roasting and smoking. So versatile, and so good.

I cook those a lot on Sundays for lunch meat during the week. If i'm lazy I get either a two or three quart pot with lid. Brown the loin in the pot to get the outside brown, pour in an inch or so of chicken broth, lower hear, close pot with lid and let it cook for about 7 or 8 minutes. Take out of pot and wrap tightly in foil. Wait 30 minutes and slice. Pure greatest for the brown bagger.

Have to be careful to not overcook though. I hate over cooked meat.

cook to about 130ish and let rest up to 140 or so. any more than that and you get none of its great flavor.

Mix some garlic, Jalapanos, cilantro, olive oil (rosemary if you like it) in a blender(food processor) and coat the tenderloin in the mix and then bake. Pure greatness if you like spicy food.

Cut into ~1 inch medallions, coat with evoo, cracked black pepper and a little sea salt, cook in a smoking hot cast iron skillet 2-3 minutes per side, devour, repeat as necessary.

Weight Watchers Recipe:

Slow cooker / crock pot for 8 hours with two cups BBQ sauce and one can (drained) pinto beans. Pretty much pulled pork. Coleslaw, pickles and a wheat bun and I'm all set. Great sub for the chicken breast that I am pretty sick of.

My favorite is the open it up and stuff it with a mixture of blanched spinach and sauteed chopped onions (cooled before stuffing), pan roasted pine nuts, some cooked crumbled pork sausage, and Feta cheese. Roll it up, tie it off and pan sear in olive oil and then finish in the oven.

A little labor intensive, but you can make the whole thing ahead of time. Then cut into colorful, flavorful medallions that I promise will have your guests raving.

I don't always do it this way but a real quick easy method is to just put some Tony Chaceres (sp?) seasoning on it and throw it on the grill.

Grandfather used to use a creamy white sauce (That's what she said, I know), and he used to use a dry-rub of seasoning and grill it, and then spread the sauce over it. I'm pretty sure it was Parmesan-something, but can't completely remember, anyone ever run across this variation and have an inkling of the recipe?

I made a kicked up version of Central Market's mango salsa, then roasted pork loin in the oven with a salt, pepper, and paprika rub. Made saffron rice and served the loin and salsa over the rice.

Yummy.

Mango salsa:
3 medium mangoes, diced
2 medium avocados, diced
2 kiwi, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 habanero, seeded and diced
2 jalapeno, seeded and diced
cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp cumin
4 Tbs key lime juice
salt/pepper to taste

Gotta try the Biggest Loser recipe. Pan sear it, then coat in a honey, hot sauce (I use sirachi) and minced garlic mixture and finish in oven.

 

[chickendog!]

i smoke mine, after marinating overnight in the following:
3 juiced oranges
2 juiced limes
6 pressed cloves of garlic
teaspoon of ginger
1 crushed up bay leaf
teaspoon of coarse ground pepper

may spray it down intermittently with Malta as it smokes. Or apple juice.
