Ingredients: 
  • 1 1/2 pound pork loin (trimmed of fat)
  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
