Why We Love This Grilled Pork Tenderloin Recipe
Even for those of us who love to tinker around our kitchens, there are days we don’t feel like cooking. On days when we are so busy or so focused on something else, the idea of cooking dinner just hangs over us like a wet blanket. Of course, in grown-up land, the words “don’t feel like it” mean nothing. As we all know, responsible people do plenty of things every day that they don’t feel like doing. Come to think of it, I don’t ever feel like unloading the dishwasher, doing laundry, or scrubbing bathrooms. Yet they are done every week without fail. This shifts cooking dinner into the proper light. I may not feel like cooking today, but most days, it’s a joyous experience. I should be thankful for that. On days we don’t feel like cooking, there are options… I usually go with option 4. Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Chimichurri and Roasted Vegetables is a meal I make on just such an occasion that fills the role of a healthy home-cooked dinner. It starts and ends with chimichurri, a bright, bold, aromatic Argentinian sauce. Chimichurri is essentially a thick vinaigrette that can be used as a marinade or sauce for just about everything. Seriously… I have used chimichurri on beef, chicken, seafood, potatoes, salad, bruschetta, and numerous other items. Yet it always tastes as if it was made solely for that one dish.
