Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon chili powder
  2. 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  3. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  4. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  5. 2 small pork tenderloins (about 12 ounces each)
  6. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  7. 1 bunch collard greens (about 1 pound), stems removed, leaves thinly sliced
  8. 1 15-ounce can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
  9. 1/2 cup jarred Peppadew peppers, drained and roughly chopped
  10. 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  11. 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  12. 1/3 cup crumbled cornbread

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil. Combine the chili powder, thyme, cayenne and 3/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub the pork with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the spice mixture. Transfer to the prepared pan and roast, turning once, until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the collard greens, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Massage the greens with your hands until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Add the black-eyed peas, Peppadews, scallions, vinegar and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and black pepper and toss to combine. Set aside.
  3. Toast the crumbled cornbread in a small dry nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Slice the pork and serve with the collard greens. Sprinkle the toasted cornbread over the greens.
