-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 3/4 - 1 pound pork tenderloins
4 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, -- rinsed (2
ounce)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup coarsely chopped onion
2 tablespoons snipped fresh oregano or 2 teaspoon dried
oregano -- crushed
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon cooking oil
3 cloves garlic -- minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh oregano leaves -- optional
Place meat in a large plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
For marinade: in a food processor bowl or blender container combine chipotle
peppers, orange juice, onion, oregano, lime juice, honey, oil, garlic and
salt.
Cover and process or blend until nearly smooth. Pour over meat. Close bag.
Marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours. (Do not marinate more than 2 hours
because the citrus juices cause meat to become too tender and mushy. Drain
meat and discard marinade.
In a grill with a cover, arrange preheated coals around drip pan. Test for
medium heat where meat will cook. Insert a meat thermometer near the center
of one of the tenderloins. Place the meat on a rack in a roasting pan on
the grill rack. Cover and grill for 30 to 45 minutes or until meat
thermometer registers 160 degrees.
Remove pork from grill. Cover with foil; let stand 5 minutes before
carving. Garnish with oregano leaves, if desired.
Description:
"The word "mojo" comes from a Spanish word which means wet. Mojos are
used as sauces or marinades."
