Adobado Pork Tenderloin
5 ancho chiles
2 C. boiling water
1 C. fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 T. sugar
3 T. cider vinegar
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
4 large garlic cloves, halved
2 pounds pork tenderloin
Cooking spray
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add chiles; cook 2 minutes, turning frequently. Remove from heat; cool. Discard stems and seeds. Combine roasted chiles and boiling water in a bowl; cover and let stand for 20 minutes or until soft. Drain well. Combine rehydrated chiles, broth, and next 9 ingredients (broth through garlic) in a blender; process until smooth. Cook chile paste in skillet over medium-low heat until very thick (about 8 minutes), stirring frequently. Cool. Trim fat from pork. Slice pork lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, other side. Open halves, laying flat. Place pork in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish; spread chile paste over all sides of pork. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or overnight. Prepare grill. Remove pork from dish, reserving chile paste. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of pork. Place pork on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; cook for 8 minutes on each side or until thermometer registers 160°F (slightly pink), brushing with reserved chile paste frequently.
