Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I have a son soon to be off to college. I have two Australian Shepherds and a cat. Cooking is like meditation and mental health for me and a big way of how I share my love.
I love my mortar and pestle! I am preparing a marinade for pork tenderloins for #dinnertonight. I rarely follow a recipe. So with that in mind, the following is my marinade for the pork.
1/2 teaspoon each of ginger, cumin, star anise, mustard seed, salt, dash or two of cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon honey and 3 tablespoons dry sherry. Grind the dry herbs and spices then mix with wet ingredients and rub on pork tenderloin. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, rotating on occasion.
Btw, I am only preparing about one pound of pork. I am only cooking for me and my son. We will have enough leftover to add to our eggs in the morning or thinly sliced for a lunchtime sandwich.
