Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Oregano-Coriander Rub

Lean pork tenderloin is roasted with a flavorful curried rub for a healthy and deliciously low-fat entrée.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 pork tenderloin, about 1 pound
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Cooking Directions:

1. Trim any fat from pork. For dry rub, combine oregano, coriander, thyme, cumin, curry powder and salt in small bowl. Moisten pork tenderloin with water; coat with dry rub. If desired, place pork in shallow dish; cover and marinate in refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
