Pork Tenderloin
Recipe
Marinated Grilled Pork Fillet
We found this Mediterranean
pork tenderloin recipe in the mountain
village of Benahavis, in the Province of Malaga, Spain, overlooking
Marbella and the world famous Puerto Banus, playground of the rich and
famous. The boys in the only restaurant in town had been using this
marinade for as long as anyone could remember. And as far as we can
ascertain are still using it to this day. Although Benahavis now has at
least twenty restaurants to cater to the European and US golfing
fraternity.

Method
- OK - First Let's prepare the meat.
- Cut away any trimmings, sinews and fat until
you are left with meat
only.
- Now cut each fillet into two equal pieces
- Split each piece almost all the way through and
open to a flat fillet
- Cover and retain.
- Put the cumin, coriander, peppercorns, star
anis and chillis in a dry
pan over a medium heat and stir until they
are all toasted - but not burnt. Smells fantastic.
- Now grind them together in a pestle and mortar
- or - I like to keep a
small coffee grinder for this job
Chop the garlic and add the salt - then smooth to a paste with the side
of a large knife.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and put the
marinade into an
earthenware or an oven tray - mixing well.
- Turn your pork fillet/tenderloin in the
marinade a couple of times - cover and
leave for at least two hours
- Now take the meat from the marinade and grill
it your favorite way - I
usually do it on the BBQ
- Don't overcook the meat or it will dry out - I
like it slightly pink
