I have a boneless pork loin in the refrigarator and needed to find a recipe. Ingredients:
1 (5 lb) pork loin, bone in, frenched and tied |
6 garlic cloves |
1/3 cup fresh rosemary leaf, chopped |
2 tablespoons lemon zest (about 2 lemons) |
2 teaspoons fennel seeds |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon kosher salt |
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Allow the pork to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
3. Place the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan just large enough to hold it comfortably.
4. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade process the garlic, rosemary, lemon zest, and fennel seeds until roughly chopped.
5. Add the olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper and process until it forms a smooth paste.
6. Rub the paste on top of the pork and roast for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees.
7. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, and cover with aluminum foil.
8. Allow to sit for 20 minutes, then remove the strings, slice between the bones and serve warm.
