Spice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

This recipe comes to us from Kelly Wilson. Kelly is a great cook and has a very unique business (Kelly Wilson Antiques) monogramming antique plates. Kelly says this recipe is a hit with kids and adults, easy enough for a weeknight and nice enough for company.


Spice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

3 t. sugar

2 t course ground pepper

2 t kosher salt

1 t. ground coriander

1/2 t. ground cloves

2 pork tenderloins

1/4 c. olive oil

1/4 c. maple syrup

Put on your cute and oh so practical HOT MAMA APRON. Combine sugar and spice and rub all over tenderloins. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.

Whisk together oil and syrup, reserving a couple of tablespoons. Place tenderloins in Pyrex and liberally brush both with oil and syrup. Roast 20 minutes at 375. Baste with oil and syrup and roast for another 25 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 155. Remove and let rest 5 to 10 min. Dribble with reserved sauce.

GRITS!

We just returned from The Atlanta Gift Market. While there, we ate at Dogwood on Peachtree Street; it was delicious! Honestly one of the best meals I have EVER had. They have a GRITS bar, yes GRITS with pimiento cheese, pulled pork grits, and beer battered fish with malt vinegar grits. Need i say more? OK I will...how about apple bacon fritters served over mashed sweet potatoes and buttermilk fried boneless chicken served with green beans and mac and cheese. YUM! I have decided that my family does not eat enough grits. Below is a recipe for Jalapeno Cheese Grits, thanks to my mom, Pat Rosenthal for sharing and if you are ever in Atlanta, Dogwood is a must!

Hot Damn Grits

2 C grits (uncooked)
8 C water
2 t salt
8 t butter (one stick)
32 oz Velveeta
jalapenos to taste
Cook grits according to directions on the box,
you can use either quick grits or regular grits
Enjoy!
