👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and fresh thyme leaves to create the glaze. Set aside.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Using fresh thyme adds a lovely aromatic quality to the glaze. - 3
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Searing the pork locks in juices and develops a flavorful crust. - 4
Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside. Add the apple quarters and onion wedges to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: The apples and onions will absorb the flavorful drippings from the pork. - 5
Return the pork loin to the skillet, placing it on top of the apples and onions. Brush the top and sides of the pork generously with the prepared mustard glaze.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Ensure an even coating of glaze for consistent flavor. - 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 63°C (145°F). Baste the pork with the pan juices and remaining glaze halfway through cooking.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Basting helps to keep the pork moist and infuses it with flavor. - 7
Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pork with the roasted apples and onions, drizzled with pan juices.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and moist roast.
