Fresh-flavored marinade works magic on this pork, making it tender and juicy. I often complete the meal with cauliflower or brussels sprouts, roasted so they’re naturally sweet.—Gilda Lester, Millsboro, Delaware

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 pork tenderloins (3/4 pound each)
  • FENNEL:
  • 2 medium fennel bulbs, halved and cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first nine ingredients; add pork. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
