Zesy Grilled Pork Medallions


Some of our friends made up this marinade but weren't able to give me exact measurements. I experimented until I came up with this recipe, which tastes as good as theirs.
--Patty C., Morgantown, Indiana

2 cups salsa
1/4 cup sugar
4-1/2 teaspoons sweet-and-sour sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon green taco sauce
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Dash hot pepper sauce
2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)

 

In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; mix well. Set aside 1 cup for dipping; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate overnight.

Drain and discard marinade. Grill pork, covered, over indirect medium heat for 30-40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Warm the dipping sauce; serve with sliced pork. Yield: 6-8 servings.


When I was growing up, my father would make this salad as part of our Sunday dinner. Now I carry on the tradition with my own family.

Peppered Corn Bread

1-1/2 cups cornmeal
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
1 can (8-3/4 ounces) cream-style corn
1 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced*
4 to 5 green onions, chopped
 

Pretty flecks of jalapeno and red peppers peek out from this golden corn bread. It has a mild flavor, which appeals to all palates. --Ila B., Pelham, North Carolina

In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda; set aside. Combine the eggs, corn, buttermilk and oil; stir into the dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in the cheese, peppers and onions. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cut into squares; serve warm. Yield: 12-16 servings.

*Editor's Note: When cutting or seeding hot peppers, use rubber or plastic gloves to protect your hands. Avoid touching your face.
