Achiote-Marinated-Pork-Tenderloin-MainPhoto

Instructions:
1. Combine orange juice, anise, garlic, cayenne one Tbsp. honey or sugar. Rinse tenderloin and pat dry with paper towels and place on a foiled baking sheet or pan. In a shallow bowl place the tenderloin inside to marinade. The tenderloin may have to curl up a bit to fit in the bottom of the bowl but that is okay. Let marinate at least 30 minutes.
2. While tenderloin is marinating, cover the counter top with a 12×12 inch piece of plastic wrap.
3. Peel sweet potatoes over this so when you are done you can discard the peels in the plastic and leave little to no mess. Chop the sweet potatoes in rough chop form.
4. In a 2 quart saucepan bring sweet potatoes to a boil with stock or water until fork tender. Drain and set aside.
