Instructions
- For Buckwheat Salad: Place buckwheat in a medium saucepan along with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and lower heat to simmer for 10 minutes, or until tender. Rinse w cold water and drain well. Add black beans, mango, red onion, lime zest, lime juice, salt and hot sauce. Mix well to combine and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- For Pork: Preheat oven to 375°F. Place vegetable chips in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until ground into a powder. Place on a large plate and add 1 teaspoon salt along with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Mix together thoroughly so the spices are evenly distributed. Roll each piece of pork in the veggie-spice mix, pressing to adhere.
- Heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pieces of pork tenderloin for a few minutes per side, until nicely browned all over. Transfer the skillet to preheated oven and cook 15-20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
- While pork rests, make the crema. In a small bowl, mix together yogurt, mint, lime zest, lime juice and hot sauce.
- Slice pork into medallions and serve alongside buckwheat salad with crema drizzled over top.
