The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Savory pork tenderloin plays perfectly with fresh, bright salsa. Mint and jalapeno in the salsa add in a real zing that's counterbalanced by the sweet and spicy pork rub. A winner on both accounts.

2 peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
1/2 small red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 pork tenderloins
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Combine the peaches, onion, lime juice, mint, and jalapeno in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Combine the cumin, coriander, brown sugar, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Mix well then rub the spice mixture over all sides of the pork tenderloin.
Place the pork on the grill and cook 3 minutes per side or until the pork registers 145 degrees F on a meat thermometer. Remove the pork from the grill and cover with foil for 5 minutes.
After the pork has rested, slice it into 1-inch thick slices. Serve with the peach salsa.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I had to cook this indoors instead of grilling it so I used a cast iron griddle. Over medium high heat it took longer than 3 minutes per side to cook, so I'm not sure how that translates to grilling - you might have to adjust the cooking time. The rub on the pork was delicious!! Just the right hint of heat and spice. The salsa was perfect - loved the fresh mint in it. I used a full jalapeno and didn't find it too spicy (but we love spicy food). Great recipe!
