After a very busy day painting my basement and cleaning up in our backyard I ran out of time for what initially was going to make for dinner this evening. So I browsed through some magazines I had lying around the house to get some inspiration on what to make so this is my take on a traditional Cochinita Pibil.
1 pound/500 gram Pork Tenderloin
1 teaspoon paprika powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon grounded oregano
1 teaspoon grounded coriander
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lime
Roasted Bell Pepper mix
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Red Onion
Salt
Olive Oil
Guacamole
2 Avocado
2 tomatoes
1/2 small red onion
Fresh Chopped Cilantro
1 minced garlic cloves
Chili flakes
salt and pepper
How to: Start with mixing all the spices with the vegetable oil in a bowl. Trim the tenderloin from fat and make small slits and rub the spices into the meat and fry it quickly in a frying pan so the meat gets a nice browning. Move the meat to a ovenproof, dish sprinkle over the lime juice and place the meat int he oven at 200C/400F for about 15-20 minutes. When the meat is almost done remove it from the oven and cover it under tinfoil for another 5-10 minutes.
At the same time roast the bell pepper and the onion
When everything is cooking in the oven mix the ingredients for the guacamole and dice some tomatoes and cucumber.
