Cilantro Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Tomatoes

Cilantro Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Slow Roasted Tomatoes

If you love cilantro you will love this!  I know I say this every week but it really was one of the easier recipes that we've done.  With our busy schedules I put the pork and cilantro in a Ziploc bag in the morning, and threw it in the oven when I walked in the door.   Dinner was on the table 30 min later.

Cilantro Pork Tenderloin

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1⁄2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed

1. Combine oil, cilantro, garlic and pork in a ziploc bag.  Seal bag and refrigerate overnight. 
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 
3. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper on a baking sheet. 
4. Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until thermometer reads 145 degrees.
5. Cover with foil and let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

Slow Roasted Tomatoes
