YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING!
Chipotle Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Grapes
Convection Roast or Convection Bake Mode
Convection is ideal for cooking lean tender cuts of meat such as pork tenderloin. A flavorful marinade and roasting the tenderloin with grapes and a side of baked acorn squash is a recipe for an easy delicious meal.
For the best flavor, the tenderloins should be marinated for at least 2 hours or overnight. Vacuum sealing the tenderloins with the marinade will do the trick in 15 minutes. Because these tenderloins cook quickly at a moderate temperature they can be cooked directly on a rimmed baking pan.
INGREDIENTS
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp canned chipotle chilis in Adobo sauce, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 pork tenderloins approx. 1lb each
Red or purple grapes, cut into clusters
PREPARATION
Combine the first 6 ingredients in a glass dish, add the tenderloins and marinate for 2 hours or overnight.
Heat the oven in the Convection Roast or Convection Bake mode at 350℉ (176℃).
Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and place them on a shallow-rimmed baking pan. Toss the grape clusters with a little olive oil and arrange them around the pork. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 15 - 20 minutes until the tenderloins are firm to the touch.
Meanwhile, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and simmer for approximately 10 minutes until it is reduced by half.
Allow the tenderloins to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Arrange the meat on a platter with the grape clusters and drizzle with the reduced sauce.
