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.

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.
