  4. 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  5. 2 x 300g pork tenderloins, trimmed of excess fat and halved

  7. 2 tbsp olive oil

Method

  1. 1. Place the jerk seasoning in a dish with the rosemary, ginger and oil. Add the pork and toss to coat and marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. 2. Preheat the oven to 180°C/ fan160°C/gas 4. Put a griddle pan over a medium heat. Lift the pork from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and sear on the hot griddle to brown all over.Transfer to an ovenproof dish, cover with foil and cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes.

Wine Recommendation

Gallo Family Vineyards Turning Leaf Merlot. The concentrated flavour of jerk seasoning is delicious with Turning Leaf Merlot. This plummy wine will add punch to the relish and balance perfectly with the pork. For a great summer meal, try lightly chilling the Merlot.
