Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork loin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 1 cup Lingonberry preserves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and season it all over with salt and ground black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork loin for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork loin from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes.
While the pork is resting, prepare the lingonberry sauce. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken stock, lingonberry preserves, and balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Simmer the sauce for about 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Stir in the chopped fresh thyme and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Slice the rested pork loin into thick medallions and arrange on a serving platter.
Spoon the lingonberry sauce over the pork or serve it on the side. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful combination of tender pork and tangy lingonberry sauce!
