Cumin Spiced Pork Tenderloin w/ Tri Color Roasted Potatoes and Boiled Baby Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Cumin Spiced Pork Tenderloin w/ Tri Color Roasted Potatoes and Boiled Baby Carrots








The heat and humidity returned today with a vengeance! By about 10:30 this morning it was very uncomfortable out, more of the same over the weekend. Not a lot going on, went to bank and stopped by the post office and back home to the central air! For dinner tonight,  Cumin Spiced Pork Tenderloin w/ Tri Color Roasted Potatoes and Boiled Baby Carrots.







Look at that Beautiful Crust!


I had came across the Cumin Spiced Pork Tenderloin recipe a while back on-line, there is several variations of it. To prepare it I’ll need; 1/2 tbsp Roasted Cumin, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 tsp Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian Paprika, 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. To prepare it preheat oven to 350°. Combine all the ingredients; rub it all over the pork. Let stand 20 minutes. Heat the oil in a Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes, browning on all sides. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until a thermometer registers 155° (slightly pink), turning after 7 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Then get ready to enjoy one delicious Pork Tenderloin! Fantastic combo of Spices, which made one incredible Crust on the Pork with the inside being tender and moist!








Then for one side dish I prepared Tri Color Roasted Potatoes. I had picked up a small bag of Tri Colored Potatoes (Red, White, and Purple) while at Jungle Jim's Market the other morning with serving it with the Pork in mind. Simple dish to prepare; Preheat the oven at 400 degrees. I quartered the Potatoes, putting them in a large bowl. Added 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, McCormick Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn, Dried Rosemary, Dried Thyme, and Rubbed Sage.  Mixed good until the Potatoes were well coated and added them to a Cast Iron Skillet. Heated them on the stove top on medium high for 5 minutes. Moved the Cast Iron Skillet to the oven and Roasted until fork tender, about 20 - 30 minutes. Ready to serve!  no reason I chose the Tri Colored Potatoes, something different. Then I also boiled some Baby Carrots, seasoned them with Sea Salt and Parsley. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Frozen Yogurt.
