Ingredients

Marinade
1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon garlic minced
1 1/2 tablespoons ginger root fresh, peeled and grated
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup onion thinly sliced
2 tablespoons sage leaves fresh, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Main dish
1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin three 8 ounce loins

Directions

Grilling Materials Charcoal briquettes Wood chips (6-8)(preferably fruitwood)

Combine all marinade ingredients; blend well.

The marinade for this dish can be prepared a day in advance; marinating should go on for 24 hours.

Lay the pork tenderloins in a ceramic or glass dish and pour marinade over them.

Turn the tenderloins several times during the 24 hours that they are marinating in the refrigerator.

When ready to cook, pat the pork dry.

Preheat charcoal in an outdoor grill and soak the wood chips in water for 30 minutes.

Add the chips to the hot coals. Roast the pork evenly for about 40 minutes, until its internal temperature is 165 F.

If pork is to be eaten hot, allow it to sit on the edge of the grill for 10 minutes or so after it is cooked so that the juices can be drawn back into the meat.

Good served either hot or cold, accompanied by a green tomato chutney.

Black Bean Chili

Very hearty and flavorful. The goat cheese complements the chili nicely. I took the advice of the previous reviewer and let it simmer for a couple hours after I mixed everything together. Also, I accidentally bought 2 cans of diced tomatoes instead of crushed, but it was still good, and the red chunks made it pretty :-)
