Spiced Pork and Cabbage
- 1 3/4 cups basmati rice
- 2 tablespoons golden raisins
- 1/2 head green cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- Kosher salt
- 1 large pork tenderloin (about 1 3/4 pounds)
- Freshly ground pepper
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the rice, raisins and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 18 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, toss the cabbage, tomatoes and garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon curry powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Spread in a single layer, leaving some room in the middle for the pork.
- Rub the pork with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon curry powder.
- Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes total.
- Add the pork to the baking sheet with the cabbage, transfer to the oven and roast until the cabbage is tender and a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 2 minutes, then slice.
- Serve with the vegetables and rice.
- Season with pepper.
