Step 1

Combine garlic, lime juice and zest, orange juice and zest, white vinegar, olive oil, and thyme, and rub them into pork. Allow it to sit and marinate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors come together. Doing this the night before is best as it will allow the flavors to really develop.

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the whole pork tenderloin with salt and cook until medium (10 - 20 min), turning every 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145F.

Step 3

Remove from grill and allow the pork to rest at least 10 minutes prior to cutting.

Step 4

To plate: spread the Corn Puree on the plate and top it with the Quick Braised Greens.

Step 14

Make a spice rub by mixing lime juice, chili powder, and remaining olive oil and rub it onto the corn.

Step 15

Step 16

Adjust seasoning and finish with butter.

Discard stems and seeds from chilies and break them into slightly smaller pieces.

Step 24

Add oil to a medium saucepan over medium heat, then add hazelnuts and toast, 1-2 minutes.

Add the shallot and garlic and saute until golden and aromatic, 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat and add the chilies.

Step 26

Allow everything to cook for about 5 minutes before then adding the vinegar.

Step 27

Place the mixture into a food processor and blend until combined but still a little chunky.

Step 28

Add chipotle powder to taste and adjust seasoning.
