Tamarind Pork With Pineapple-Ginger Chutney
- Chutney:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons butter
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
- 1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
- 3 cups chopped pineapple
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons gold rum
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
- Pork:
- 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon lower-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons tamarind paste
- 2 (1-pound) pork tenderloins
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- To prepare chutney, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, ginger, and chile to pan; cover and cook 6 minutes or until onion is tender. Uncover. Stir in pineapple and next 3 ingredients (through 1/4 teaspoon salt); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes or until pineapple is tender, stirring occasionally. Cool 20 minutes; stir in cilantro and red pepper.
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
- To prepare pork, combine chili sauce and next 3 ingredients (through tamarind), stirring to combine. Reserve half of soy mixture. Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with 3/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper; coat pork with oil. Add pork to pan; saute 4 minutes on 1 side or until browned. Brush pork with half of soy mixture; turn pork over. Place pan in oven; bake at 400u0b0 for 16 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of pork registers 155u0b0 (slightly pink). Remove pork from pan; let stand 10 minutes. Brush pork evenly with reserved soy mixture. Slice pork crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick medallions. Serve with chutney.
- If you don't care to use the rum in the chutney, you can substitute 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice.
