Recipe - Marinated Cumin-Scented Butterflied Pork (Mf)

1 cup Fresh cilantro or italian
parsley leaves
One fourth cup Olive oil
3 Limes; juice of, or 1/3 cup
lemon juice
1 small Onion; finely chopped
1 teaspoon Ground cumin
1 One half pound Boneless pork loin; trimmed
of all fat and butterflied
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper

Preheat the broiler or a grill. In a food processor or blender, process the
cilantro or parsley, olive oil, lime juice, onion and cumin until smooth.
With a sharp knife, make many shallow slashes across both surfaces of the
pork. Pour half the cilantro mixture over the pork, spreading it evenly
over the meat and working it into the slashes. Flip the pork over and
repeat the procedure on the other side. If you have time, let the pork
marinate to pick up flavors. Otherwise, place it on a broiler pan and
sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil 3 inches from the heat source for 10
minutes. Flip the meat over and broil until cooked through, about 10
minutes more. Remove pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Thinly slice the pork across the grain and serve with pan juices delicious
warm or at room temperature; great in salads too.

Yield: 4 servings
