From grandma's kitchen: The perfect roasted pork loin recipe
This dish is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and very easy to prepare. This roasted pork loin serves as a dinner and lunch meat for sandwiches. Grandma knew what she was doing and jotted down all the essential tips in her notebook.
While shopping, I often have the same feeling: I'm tired of overpaying for low-quality cold cuts. Moreover, manufacturers have abused consumer trust for too long, forcing me to carefully sift through the list of ingredients on packages. The recipe I recently discovered came at just the right time. Homemade cold cuts of the highest quality? Precisely balancing tenderness and juiciness? And additionally, a delicious dinner idea that the entire household will enjoy? Yes, that sounds fantastic.
My grandmother's roasted pork loin recipe is neither time-consuming nor particularly complicated. As usual, success depends on selecting the right meat and ingredients. In the case of this roasted pork loin, simplicity is key, as you will soon see.
Roasted pork loin for dinner and sandwiches
Ingredients:
- 1 kilogram of good quality pork loin,
- 2 tablespoons of clarified butter,
- 1 teaspoon of salt,
- 3 cloves of garlic,
- 1/3 teaspoon of pepper,
- 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika,
- ½ teaspoon of marjoram.
Instructions:
- The first step is to choose the appropriate meat. Remember to choose a pork loin with distinctly white fat and the rest – shiny and slightly moist. First, wash the meat, clean it of larger membranes, and then dry it with a paper towel.
- Mix all the spices (salt, pepper, paprika, marjoram, and garlic passed through a press), and then rub them onto the pork loin.
- Wrap the meat in foil and store in the refrigerator for a few hours.
- After this time, take it out, wait at least 45 minutes (so that it reaches room temperature again), remove the foil, and place it in a greased baking dish.
- Bake covered for one hour at 180°C. During this time, baste the meat several times with the liquid collected in the dish. Done!
