Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork loin
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
- 4 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pork loin on a cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat, if necessary.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, dried lavender, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, kosher salt, and black pepper to form a fragrant paste.
Rub the rosemary-lavender-garlic paste all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the pork loin on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove the skillet from heat and carefully pour the chicken stock and white wine into the pan around the pork loin.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork loin for approximately 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Every 20 minutes, baste the pork loin with the pan juices to ensure it remains moist and flavorful.
Once fully cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork loin to a cutting board. Cover it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the pork loin in slices, drizzled with the pan juices, and garnish with additional fresh rosemary, if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
