Submitted by: admin on April 2, 2020

Makes 1⁄2 Cup, Enough For 1 Recipe Pan-Seared Oven-Roasted Pork Tenderloins

Ingredients

10 garlic cloves, peeled and grated to fine paste on rasp-style grater (2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons lime juice (2 limes)
1⁄4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Immediately after placing pork in oven, mix garlic paste with water in small bowl. Add oil to still-hot skillet and swirl to coat; add garlic paste and cook with skillet’s residual heat, scraping bottom of skillet with wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits, until sizzling subsides, about 2 minutes. Set skillet over low heat and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until garlic is sticky, 8 to 10 minutes; set skillet aside off heat.
  2. While pork is resting, set skillet over medium heat; add pepper flakes and sugar to skillet and cook until sticky and sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Add lime juice, cilantro, and chives; simmer to blend flavors, 1 to 2 minutes. Add any accumulated pork juices and simmer 1 minute longer. Off heat, whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
