Citrus Mojo Pork Tenderloin

with Roasted Carrots, Cilantro Sauce & Garlic Rice

Webster’s defines mojo as, “a magic spell, hex, or charm.” And even though this mojo (pronounced mo-ho) refers to the citrusy Cuban sauce, we think the dish may have similar effects on you. Here, cumin-spiced pork tenderloin is cooked to juicy perfection, then sliced and served over savory garlic rice. On the side, there’s tender roasted carrots. Finally...the sauces. Orange-and-lime-juice-spiked mojo sauce lifts and brightens the dish while creamy cilantro sauce lends a sultry note. Together, it’s a full-blown flavor explosion that’ll have your taste buds singing “Havana-ooh-na-na!”
