Sweet heat. We absolutely LOVE this dish! Mark said it was the best pork tenderloin he'd ever had. Mango chutney takes just enough fire from the habanero to create a perfect balance of sweet and hot for the pork, which gets nestled into a blend of creamy avocado and tart pineapple. If you are worried about the heat from the habanero, you can use only half of what is called for.
Cooking spray
2 pork tenderloins (about 2 1/2 pounds total) I buy these 4 to a pkg. at Sam's Club. You can freeze the other 2 for another recipe.
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup prepared mango chutney (about 1 jar of Major Grey's Mango Chutney - located on the condiment aisle at Fry's)
1 habanero chile pepper, seeded and minced (wear gloves and don't touch your eyes!)
2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup canned crushed pineapple (1 large can)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray.
2. Season the pork allover with salt and pepper and put it in the prepared pan. In a small bowl, combine the chutney and habanero. Mix well and then spoon the mixture allover the pork.
3. Roast for 25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the pork reads 160°F. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
4. Meanwhile, to make the guacamole, in a medium bowl, combine the avocado, pineapple, cilantro, lime juice, and cumin. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
5. Transfer the guacamole to a serving platter. Nestle the pork slices into the guacamole and serve.
