Spiced Pork Roast

This dish is supremely delish with Roasted Root Veggies. Choosing heritage pork will mean even more flavor. I love leftovers in a sandwich slathered with mustard and dotted with Spicy-Sweet Pickled Cucumbers.

Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 teaspoons ground fennel
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2-1/2 pound boneless pork loin roast

Instructions

  • Pound garlic to a paste in a mortar and pestle with a pinch of salt and grind of pepper. Add thyme and fennel, and continue to pound to a paste. Mix in remaining spices and 1 tablespoon olive oil, and rub all over pork. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight).
  • Preheat oven to 400℉. Rub pork with an additional pinch of salt.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sear pork on all sides, about 3-5 minutes total, and transfer pan to oven. Roast for 25-35 minutes, until a thermometer poked into the thickest part reads 150℉.
  • Remove from oven to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

These lamb chops remind me of my time on Corfu. After we’d close the restaurant late at night, we’d grill up a batch and set them in the middle of the table for everyone to nibble on in between stories or songs.

When I lived on Corfu, souvlaki meant skewered cubes of grilled, marinated pork. But on a trip through Athens seeking out the best street food and mezedhes, we found this lamb version to be utterly addictive; moist and tender with just the right amount of spice.
