0.33 cup shallots, chopped
0.33 cup fresh basil , chopped
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp saffron , crushed
3 medium garlic cloves , thinly sliced
1 lb pork tenderloin , trimmed
0.75 tsp salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cooking spray

1 tbsp fresh basil , chopped
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp Vinegar, red wine (sherry vinegar preferred)

Put peppers in a resealable plastic bag and let sit 10 minutes. Take peppers out of bag, peel off skin, and slice in half lengthwise, throwing away seeds and membranes. Finely dice onions and peppers. Mix onions, peppers, basil, sugar, vinegar, and salt in a bowl and serve with pork.
