Spicy Pork Loin with Braised Baby Bok Choy

Servings 4 Serves

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • sea salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 6 cups chopped baby bok choy
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth or use homemade
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium coconut aminos

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place pork tenderloin on a baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine seasonings (cumin through salt); rub mixture over the surface of the tenderloin. Heat half of the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; add tenderloin and brown on all sides, (about 5 minutes) then return to a cleaned baking sheet and roast, uncovered, until a meat thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive in a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat until hot. Add bok choy; cook and stir for 3 minutes then add broth and coco-aminos. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for 5 minutes or until bok choy is tender; remove from pan, leaving cooking juices behind.
  • Bring pan juices to a boil over medium-high heat; cook until reduced by half then pour mixture over bok choy. When tenderloin is done, transfer to a cutting board and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices; serve with a drizzle of pan juices with braised baby bok choy on the side.
