?Cumin-scented tenderloins are a type of pork dish that is typically marinated in a cumin-based spice blend before being grilled or roasted. The cumin gives the pork a distinct flavor that is often paired with other bold spices, such as chili powder or paprika. This dish is popular in many Latin American countries and is often served with rice, beans, and plantains.
