Ingredients

  • For the Pork

    • 1 tablespoon paprika
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 2 pork tenderloins (10 to 12 ounces each)
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as safflower
  • For the Black-Eyed-Pea Salad

    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 1 can (15 ounces) black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
    • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn kernels, thawed
    • 1 red bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), finely diced
    • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

  1. Make pork: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, combine paprika, thyme, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; set spice mixture aside.
  2. Place pork on a rimmed baking sheet; rub with oil. Sprinkle all over with spice mixture, patting in gently. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of meat registers 150 degrees. 20 to 25 minutes; let cool.
  3. Make black-eyed pea salad: In a medium container, whisk mustard, vinegar, and oil. Add all vegetables. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine.
  4. Serve: If stored in refrigerator, bring pork and black-eyed pea salad to room temperature. Thinly slice pork; serve with black-eyed pea salad.

    The roast pork is delicious but I like this recipe for the black-eyed pea salad. It's a complimentary side dish that offers a great taste and what a good way to get my family to eat beans and a few veges. We also like it as a dip with tortilla chips.
