How to Make Spice Crusted Pork Tenderloins With Banana Date Chutney

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the chutney: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup chopped dates, 2 ripe bananas (mashed), 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the bananas are soft and the chutney has thickened (about 10-15 minutes). Set aside.
  3. Prepare the pork: Pat 2 (6-ounce) pork tenderloins dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork tenderloins.
  5. Sear the pork tenderloins in a hot skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
  6. Transfer the seared pork tenderloins to a baking dish.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C).
  8. Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  9. Serve the sliced pork tenderloins topped with the banana date chutney. Enjoy!
