Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• ½ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 boneless pork loin, trimmed
• ½ mango, peeled and diced
• ½ small shallot, peeled and thinly sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine chili powder and cocoa powder in a bowl; sprinkle over both sides of pork loin.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown pork loin on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork and juices to a baking dish.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step 5

Combine mango, shallot, cilantro, and lemon juice in a bowl. Slice pork loin and top with juices from the baking dish and mango mixture.
