Pork and Marinade

Instructions

Prepare the marinade

In a large bowl, combine diced mango, curry powder, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Pro tip: For a smoother marinade, blend the mango with the spices and oil.

Marinate the pork

Place the pork tenderloins in the bowl with the marinade. Ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Pro tip: Longer marination enhances the flavour.

Preheat the air fryer

Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.

Cook the pork

Place the marinated pork tenderloins in the air fryer basket. Cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.

Let the pork rest

Remove the pork from the air fryer and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing.

Pro tip: Resting allows the juices to redistribute.

Serve

Slice the pork tenderloins and serve with any remaining mango sauce from the marinade.

Pro tip: Garnish with fresh cilantro for added freshness.
