Monday Dinner: 9-spice pork

This recipe was adapted from a recipe in Cooking Light.

9-spice pork (for 4 people):
Pork loin (4 pieces, 1/2 inch thick)
Brown sugar (1 Tbsp)
Salt (1 tsp)
Paprika (1 tsp)
Chili powder (1 tsp)
Garlic powder (3/4 tsp)
Cumin (3/4 tsp)
Whole grain dijon mustard (2 tsp)
Ground allspice (1/8 tsp)
Ground red pepper (1/8 tsp)
Cooking spray

1. Combine all the spices. Rub the mixture onto both sides of pork loin.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat an oven-safe grill pan over high heat. Coat the pan with cooking spray. Add pork and grill it until it gets nice grill marks or brown. Flip the pork and finish cooking in the oven until cooked throughly.

I served it with sauteed spinach with garlic. I also served pumpkin soup that I made over the weekend with real pumpkin.
