Pork Tenderloin Tandoori

Serves: 4 - 6
:: Ingredients:

* 2 pork tenderloins, about 1 lb (450 g) each,
* 1 cup (250 ml) plain yogurt,
* 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime or lemon juice,
* 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped,
* 1 Tbs (15 ml) paprika,
* 1 Tbs (15 ml) ground coriander,
* 1 tsp (5 ml) ground cumin,
* 1 tsp (5 ml) turmeric,
* 1 tsp (5 ml) cayenne pepper, or to taste,
* Salt to taste,

Preparation time: 20 mins

Trim the tenderloins of excess fat and silverskin.

Cut them in half lengthwise almost all the way through (butterflied) and pound to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

Place the tenderloins in a shallow baking dish and top with the marinade, turning to coat them completely.

Marinate for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.

Cook the tenderloins over hot coals or under a preheated broiler until firm to the touch and slightly pink in the center.

Let the tenderloins rest, covered with foil, for 5 minutes before slicing.
