Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg pork loin
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley leaves
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Pat dry the pork loin with paper towels and season it all over with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a food processor, combine the garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme, parsley, Dijon mustard, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse paste.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
Spread the herb mixture evenly over the top and sides of the pork loin, pressing it gently to adhere.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 63°C (145°F) for medium doneness.
Remove the pork from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the roast pork and serve immediately with your preferred sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
