BBQ Pork Recipe

Mediterranean Barbecued Pork Fillet - Tenderloin

Here's a great BBQ pork recipe that's easy, quick, healthy and totally foolproof. Pork fillet/tenderloin is very healthy because it is virtually fat free and that also makes it easy to overcook. So, just be careful not to overdo it, you're better off to leave it a little pink inside than to dry it out :)
Pam's Tips: Marinate your pork fillet well in advance and don't make your heat too fierce - the flavours are quite subtle.

Method

Put all the marinade ingredients in a large shallow dish.
Add the pork fillet and marinate for at least an hour, turning two or three times.
Meanwhile make the sauce:
Toast the garlic in olive oil, in a medium pan, until nut brown and crispy.
Quickly add the honey, lemon juice and chilli and stir for two minutes.
Take the pork from the marinade and add any remaining marinade to your sauce.
Finally add the tomato sauce, and bring to the boil.
Barbecue or griddle the pork until browned and crispy on the outside and still slightly pink and moist inside.
Spoon the sauce onto warm dinner plates and arrange the pork on top.
