Sweet & Smoky Pork Tenderloin

with Roasted Broccoli, Mashed Potatoes & Cherry Sauce

If you’re craving something that’s good and hearty, this recipe has got you covered. Pork tenderloin is rubbed with cinnamon and smoked paprika, which brings a layer of warm aromatics to the meat. It’s then roasted and drizzled in a cherry jam sauce that adds sweetness to all that savory. Roasted broccoli on the side adds a fresh pop of green, while mashed potatoes keep things creamy and classic.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Adjust rack to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

    Dice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Place in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.

    Reserve 1⁄2 cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes to pot.

    Keep covered off heat until ready to mash.

  2. 2

    Trim and thinly slice scallions.

    Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, pat pork* dry with paper towels; rub with a large drizzle of olive oil. Season generously all over with salt and pepper. Reserve 1⁄4 tsp Cinnamon Paprika Spice (1⁄2 tsp for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl for the next step; rub pork all over with remaining Cinnamon Paprika Spice.

    Place pork on a second baking sheet and roast on middle rack until cooked through, 18-20 minutes.

    Transfer to a cutting board to rest for at least 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    To bowl with reserved Cinnamon Paprika Spice, add jam and half the vinegar (save the rest for another use); stir to combine.

    Microwave until warm, 30-60 seconds. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Mash drained potatoes until smooth; stir in scallions, sour cream, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). If needed, stir in reserved potato cooking liquid a splash at a time until potatoes are creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Slice pork crosswise.

    Divide pork, mashed potatoes, and broccoli between plates. Drizzle sauce over pork and serve.
