Title: Spanish-Style Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients:
– 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 ½ pounds)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– ½ teaspoon salt

– 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
– ½ cup chicken broth

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
