Spicy Mango Pork Tenderloin Recipe

Recipe
Kroger’s had pork loins on special the last couple of weeks and I stocked up. I love cutting them up for pork chops, kebabs, or stir fries, but nothing beats a good slow cooked pork tenderloin. Melt in your mouth tender and full of flavor. I decided to whip out some tropical flavor and heat to make up this spicy mango pork tenderloin. We ate ours with some fresh summer corn and avocados. Pardon the lousy picture. I was so busy eating, I forgot to take a pic of the fresh dish. This was the leftovers.
Ingredients:
- pork tenderloin (mine was about 2 lbs)
- 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp red pepper flakes
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
Directions:
Mix everything but the mango in a Ziplock bag and pop the pork in to marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight is even better).
Line your slow cooker with the diced mango.
Add the pork and a few spoonfuls of the marinade.
Cook on low for 7-8 hours.
Slice and serve with the cooked mangoes as a sauce.
