How to cook deliciously - Grilled Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Sweet Potatoes and Scallions

1. Stage

Light the grill. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of the oil with the cayenne, thyme, nutmeg, brown sugar, vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Rub the mixture over the pork.

2. Stage

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and cook until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Brush the sweet potatoes and the scallions with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

3. Stage

Grill the pork over moderate heat, turning once, until done to medium, 12 to 15 minutes in all. Transfer the pork to a carving board and leave to rest in a warm spot.

4. Stage

Grill the sweet potatoes and scallions, turning, until tender, about 5 minutes. Cut the pork into 1/2-inch diagonal slices. Serve with the vegetables.

5. Stage

Variation: Substitute 1 pound of asparagus spears for the scallions. Snap off the tough ends and use an additional tablespoon of oil for brushing the spears. Grill for about 10 minutes.

6. Stage

Wine Recommendation: Australian Shiraz' lush, jammy fruit flavor makes it a great partner for grilled meats. Try one here for an inexpensive but tasty treat.
