Name: Grilled Spice-Rubbed Pork with Tomato Garlic Sauce
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons olive oil; 3/8 teaspoon cayenne; 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin; 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon; 3/4 teaspoon salt; 2 (3/4-lb) pork tenderloins; 4 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced; 2 1/2 lb tomatoes (about 6 medium), chopped; an instant-read thermometer

If you get a package containing two tenderloins of uneven size, you may have to cook the larger one a little longer than the smaller one. Prepare all the sauce ingredients before grilling the pork, then cook it while the pork stands.

Cooks' note:

Tenderloins can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, turning over occasionally, until well browned, about 10 minutes, then roasted in middle of a preheated 400°F oven until thermometer registers 150°F, about 10 minutes more. Let stand, loosely covered, 10 minutes.

Recipe notes

Caramelized Onion Pasta

Turn humble onions into this thrifty yet luxe pasta dinner.

Vodka Gochujang Pasta

This pasta has some really big energy about it. It’s so extra, it’s the type of thing you should be eating in your bikini while drinking a magnum of rosé, not in Hebden Bridge (or wherever you live), but on a beach on Mykonos.

Our Favorite French Onion Soup

Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.

Smothered Italian Sausage

This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

Béchamel Sauce

This classic 15-minute sauce is your secret weapon for homemade mac and cheese, chowder, lasagna, and more.

White Bean Turkey Chili

A dash of cocoa powder adds depth and richness to the broth of this easy turkey chili.

Golden Mushroom Soup With Orzo & a Pat of Butter

This is the type of soup that, at first glance, might seem a little…unexciting. But you’re underestimating the power of mushrooms, which do the heavy lifting.

Baked Butter Paneer

I should address the awkward truth that I don’t use butter here but cream instead. You could, if you’re a stickler for tradition (and not a heretic like me), add a big slab of butter to the finished curry.
