"Television was supposed to be a national park. Instead it has become a money machine. It's a commodity now, just like pork bellies."
-Fred Friendly, Television Producer
You can use any cut of pork that you like, but the pork tenderloin will cook up much quicker. This recipe takes just a little over 30 minutes and the tenderloin will be nice and tender. Using pork loin or chops will actually add a bit more flavor but will take longer to cook.
You can take this a bit spicier by adding a little cumin and a touch of chili powder. Try using oregano instead of the sage.
