CAJUN PORK TENDERLOIN WITH TROPICAL SALSA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Rub the tenderloin evenly with the olive oil. Then rub the Cajun seasoning evenly over it. Let it stand for 15 minutes.
- Heat a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, lightly mist it with spray. Cook the tenderloin until it is just browned all over, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove it from the heat. Using a pastry brush or your fingers, rub the honey evenly over the tenderloin. If one end is very narrow, tuck it under to make it an equal thickness with the rest of the tenderloin. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook the tenderloin (uncovered) until there is just a hint of pink inside or a meat thermometer reaches 155°F, l6 to l8 minutes.
- Remove the tenderloin from the oven and immediately place a sheet of foil loosely over it (not over the whole pan). Allow it to sit for 10 minutes. Transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board. Holding your knife at a 45-degree angle, slice it into thin slices. Serve immediately with salsa.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Sprinkle the pork generously all over with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat until very hot and then add the tenderloin. Cook the pork, flipping occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork until just cooked through, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 150 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- While the pork roasts, put the parsley, cilantro, vinegar, chives, tarragon, shallots and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the herbs are minced. Slowly drizzle in the remaining 2/3 cup oil with the motor running until you have a thick sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the pork tenderloin and spoon the salsa verde over top. Serve with crusty bread for soaking up all the juices.
CAJUN PORK
Tina Gantner of Matthews, Missouri writes, "It took me a few tries to perfect this recipe, but now it's a favorite in our household. More Cajun seasoning can be added, but it tends to make the dish too hot for children. Chicken breast can be substituted for the pork tenderloin and rice can be used instead of the noodles."

Steps:
- Wash the pork tenderloins and pat dry. Rub them generously with the Cajun rub.
- Preheat the grill on medium high heat. Place on grill for a few minutes on high. Sear until grill marks appear on all sides of the pork. Blackening will enhance the flavor.

- Insert a meat thermometer and when the pork reaches 150°F, remove to a platter. Cover with foil and let rest about 15 minutes. Slice and serve with extra glaze.
