    Cinnamon, cumin, and chili powder dusted and rubbed into this pork tenderloin give each slice of pork a warm, spicy flavor. The Simple Sauce is not simple in flavor; the sauce contrasts with the warm spices and lays sweetly over the oven-roasted loin.

    Cinnamon And Cumin Pork Tenderloin

    Many pork dishes call for the use of a slow cooker, but sometimes dinner doesn't have all day to cook. For this recipe, save yourself the hassle of more dishes and use just one dish: use an oven-safe skillet to brown the loin, then transfer it to the oven. Have lard on hand? Use lard as the cooking oil to brown the loin on the stovetop.

    Pork tenderloin is fairly lean and packed with protein, so the slices of pork loin will be filling. Add a light side vegetable, salad, or even soup for a dinner that will be ready in less than 30 minutes!
