Ingredients:
1 tablespoon fennel seeds |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
4 tablespoons olive oil |
kosher salt and pepper |
2 pounds boneless pork loin |
2 red onions, quartered |
1 pound small white potatoes, quartered |
3 firm pears (such as bartlett), cored and quartered |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400° F. Using the bottom of a heavy pan, crush the fennel seeds. In a small bowl, mix the seeds, the garlic, 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Rub the mixture over the pork, then place the pork in a large roasting pan. In a bowl, mix the onions, potatoes, pears, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the remaining oil. Scatter around the pork and roast until cooked through, about 70 minutes (internal temperature 160° F). Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted produce.
