The refrigerator light goes on...

This is a lovely and lush mayonnaise that works well on roast pork but the best part is that there are likely to be leftovers (depending on how much pork you cook). Both the pork and the mayonnaise make great sandwiches together or separately.

Cooking the spices helps mellow the harsh flavors and for most folks this will be mild enough to be GERD friendly.

1 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp 2% milk
1/2 tsp orange zest
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
spray olive oil
7 Tbsp reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 lb pork tenderloin
1 orange (juiced)
1 Tbsp pure maple syrup

Place a large skillet in the oven and preheat to 375°F.

Place the olive oil in small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the paprika and ground cumin and cook, stirring frequently. Let the olive oil bubble just a bit but do not overheat or the spices will burn. After cooking for about 5 minutes remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

While the paprika mixture is cooling add the orange zest, milk and pepper to the mayonnaise. Stir well and add the cooled paprika and oil mixture. Stir well until well blended and place in the refrigerator.

Spray the preheated pan lightly with olive oil. Place the pork tenderloin in the hot pan and return it to the oven. While the pork is cooking, stir together the orange juice and maple syrup.

Turn the pork about every two minutes so that it sears on each side. After it has cooked for about ten minutes, add the orange juice mixture to the pan.

Cook for about 7 - 10 minutes more and remove the pork to a cutting board. While the pork is resting place the skillet over medium-high heat and reduce the remaining sauce to about 1/4 cup.

Slice the meat and place on plates. Top with the orange sauce and then about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the paprika mayonnaise.
