Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat the grill. In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon each of olive oil, chili powder, and hot sauce. Season the pork with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

    Pierce the meat all over with a fork and rub both sides with the spice mixture. Place on a rack set over a baking sheet and set aside.
  2. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.

    Add celery, onion, garlic, and the remaining 2 tablespoons chili powder. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring, until the vegetables are translucent.

  3. Add chicken broth and tomatoes to the pan. Cook for about 7 minutes, until the mixture has reduced by a third.

    Add the beans and cabbage, stirring well. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 7 minutes, until the cabbage is tender. (You can add up to 1/2 cup of water if the mixture is very thick.) Season with salt.
  4. Meanwhile, roast the pork in the oven for 4-6 minutes until golden brown. Turn over and cook for another 2 minutes or more, until cooked through. Serve the pork loin with cabbage and beans.
