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.
