Here is a lovely easy recipe which is perfect for a sunny afternoon. I roasted mine in the oven, but these would work really well on the BBQ. Pork tenderloin is very lean so it’s really important not to over cook. It requires very little cooking as it’s delicious served slightly blushing - that moment just before it’s cooked through. Test your meat by pushing it with your finger - too soft then it’s undercooked, too hard then it’s over cooked. I personally think this is good with a bit of a chilli kick, but feel free to adjust the heat to your liking.
