Instructions
This recipe for Cumin Rubbed Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Orange Cinnamon Rice Pilaf combines a classic rice dish with savory, flavor-packed pork. Get the grill going and try it for your next barbecue or alfresco dinner!
Step 1
Prepare the rice according to package directions, using chicken broth instead of water and adding the cinnamon stick to the liquid. Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium.
Step 2
Mix cumin, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Reserving 1/2 teaspoon of mix, rub remaining seasoning mix onto pork. Allow pork to rest for 15 minutes. Grill until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 145°F, about 15 minutes. Remove pork to a plate and allow to rest before slicing thinly.
Step 3
Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add reserved seasoning mix, spinach, onions and orange juice to skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes. Stir in cooked rice. Serve rice mixture with grilled pork.
