Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1-1.5 kg pork loin 2.2-3.3 lbs
  • 1 Tbsp Mediterranean seasoning blend oregano, thyme, rosemary, and fennel
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced (or use a garlic press)
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse the pork loin and pat dry.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the Mediterranean seasoning blend, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Using a small sharp knife, make incisions all over the top of the pork loin, about 1 inch deep. Rub the herb mixture into each hole using your fingers, making sure to save some for the outside.
  4. Rub the remaining herb mixture all over the outside of the pork loin. Place the pork on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, fat side up.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can use a mortar and pestle to crush the herbs, or put them in a Ziploc bag and roll with a rolling pin, or crush them with the back of a spoon in a small bowl.
For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
