With Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, most folks are probably gearing up to enjoy their favorite Mexican dishes. We’re joining in too as we have plans to go to dinner at a local Mexican restaurant for our share of tacos and fajitas! But for a slightly different twist, I’m sharing a Latin inspired dish, Chimichurri Rubbed Pork Loin. Not necessarily Mexican but this Argentinian inspired rub really made a plain pork loin pop with flavor. A traditional chimichurri is used as a marinade for pork, allowing for flavors of parsley, lemon, red pepper, cumin and garlic to be absorbed. The result? A delicious pork dish with some Latin flair…
Patrick loves chimichurri as a condiment for grilled foods – chicken, beef, pork and even seafood. We finally got some nice weather and it inspired me to make chimichurri for some grilled pork. Sadly, the rain came and we opted change our dinner plans by roasting our pork loin with the chimichurri. It was so full of flavor and helped our pork stay nice and juicy. You can prepare the chimichurri in advance and even reserve some of it for the table as additional sauce for serving. I can’t wait to try this with chicken and grilling it when summer arrives!
