Glazed Pork Loin with Sweet Potato Mash


Five minutes preparation time will be enough for this beautifully glazed pork. An ideal choice for those of you who do not wish to spend a lifetime in the kitchen! Serve it with yummy sweet potato mash!

Ingredients
  • 1 (appr 3k) pork loin with the skin
  • 5-6 cloves of garlic, sliced
  • ½ tea cup of thyme honey
  • 2 oranges (juice)
  • 2 lemons (juice)
  • 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
  • salt
  • freshly ground pepper
Method
Use a sharp knife to make tiny incisions in the meat flesh, here and there and tuck in the garlic slices. Season well with salt and pepper and place the meat in a baking tray. Place it on the bottom shelf of a preheated oven and roast at 220ºC until golden brown. Then turn the oven temperature down to 180ºC cover it well with baking paper or tin-foil and continue roasting for 1h and 30 minutes. Then coat the pork with the honey, baste it with its juices, add the rosemary and roast again for 1h and 30 minutes. Make sure to baste the meat often during roasting. When ready, leave covered for 20 minutes, so that the flesh can re-absorb the juices that have bubbled to the surface. Place it on a large plate and slice it when served.

Remember that total cooking time equals the weight of the meat plus 30 minutes.
