Before I met my husband, pork was not a food I’d had much of, with the exception to the wonderful food that is crispy bacon. His home had some gourmet dinners and always homemade deliciousness. One of his family’s favorites is pork tenderloin. He makes a marinade his dad used to make, but Matt loves to mix it up and start new creations. (The great thing for me…I’m his taste tester, and–unlike in my cooking–he is 100% successful in making tasty creations.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0Here is a dinner he made this week…yum! I haven’t been eating much meat, but this was too tasty to pass up. We bought this Mucho Mango Dipping Sauce <\/i><\/b>from Dilorio Farm in Houston. I thought it would be fun to drizzle it over the pork for added flavor. Turns out…<\/i>the pork was too tasty to add a sauce to it! Matt’s rub, marinade, and sauce brushed on during the grilling process was one of the best I’ve ever tasted! Seriously, it would have been a travesty to add extra sauce to such a good thing. But I did drizzle the sauce over the green beans with Italian sweet peppers. It was fruity with an instant taste of apricots and mango. And I didn’t expect the crushed red pepper throughout…it had some heat!<\/p>\n

Matt was sweet enough to remember the ingredients that he put in his rub and then in the sauce for the pork tenderloin.<\/p>\n

So there you have it…a meat and potatoes kind of meal. But it’s a lean meat with fresh flavors and ridiculously mouth-watering tastes. I even tasted one bite of the pork with an unexpected taste at the end…ginger!<\/b> Thanks, Matt!<\/b><\/i><\/div>\n
