Ingredients

1 Chipotle peppers, in Adobo sauce   20 g
1/3 cup honey   120 g
3 tbsp limejuice, freshly squeezed   1 1/2 lime
2 tsp paprika   6 g
1 pinch cayenne pepper   0.1 g
1 tsp ground cumin   3 g
1 tsp dried oregano   1 g
2 pork tenderloin   600 g

Before you start

A slow cooker is needed to make this recipe.

Method

  1. Coarsely chop the chipotle pepper then put it in a small bowl with about 1 teaspoon of the adobo sauce. Stir in the honey and lime juice. Cook in a microwave oven at maximum power about 30 sec until the mixture is uniformly warmed and blended.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the spices and oregano, then use this mixture to coat the tenderloins. Put them in the bottom of the ceramic cooking pot and pour the honey mixture on top.
  3. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on 'low' for 6-8 h, or until the meat is tender enough to be "pulled" apart easily with a fork. Alternatively, cook on high for 4-5 h.
  4. Please note that there is no need to add salt. Serve the meat with its cooking juices.

Remarks

As is often the case with slow cooking, this dish is at its best when it is reheated.
