Jerk Pork Tenderloin with Fresh Pineapple Chutney

Jerk Pork Tenderloin with Fresh Pineapple Chutney(Adapted from CL)

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pound trimmed pork tenderloin
2 teaspoons Easy Jerk Seasoning (see below)

Chutney

1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cups finely chopped fresh pineapple
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dash of freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 425

Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Rub pork with 2 teaspoons Easy Jerk Seasoning. Add pork to pan; cook 3 minutes, turning to brown all sides. Place pan in oven; bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer registers 160. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion and cook 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add pineapple and remaining ingredients. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Serve over the pork.

Easy Jerk Seasoning

1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons apple-pie spice (to make your own, use 4 parts cinnamon, 2 parts fresh grated nutmeg and 1 part ground cardamom)
1 teaspoon ground red pepper

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.

  1. I've always used the traditional method of marinating the meat in jerk sauce over night.

    I'll bear in mind the "Easy jerk seasoning" for the future as this could save me a lot of time.
