Pork and orange as a flavor pairing goes way back, and is especially common in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures. In this recipe, pork tenderloin is left to marinate in a mixture of orange juice, fresh rosemary, garlic, and paprika overnight, an important step since the meat is very lean and prone to drying out otherwise. Plus it will be infused with wonderful flavors. Then, during cooking, the pork is basted with a mixture of lemon juice, port wine, and white wine for the same reasons.

Place the tenderloin in a baking dish with the orange juice, rosemary (the leaves only), garlic, salt, and paprika.
