Roasted pork loin with apple

HOW TO MAKE ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH APPLE

Step 1: Place the pork loin on a baking dish and with a sharp knife make 4 to 5 cuts across the loin. Season with salt, nutmeg, pepper, oregano, 50 ml (1/4 cup) olive oil, unpeeled crushed garlic, honey and white wine. Let marinate about 1 hour.

Step 2: Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF).

Step 3: Wash and peel the apples. Cut into cubes and place them in a saucepan with the remaining olive oil, the onion cut into round slices and the brown sugar. Bring to low heat and simmer about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and pour this mixture over the pork loin.

Step 4: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake about 1 hour and 15 minutes until golden brown. Occasionally, drizzle the pork loin with the sauce.

Step 5: Turn off the oven and serve the loin with roasted potatoes or rice.

TIPS FOR ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH APPLE

1. If the loin starts to golden brown too much cover with aluminum foil.

2. We usually roast the loin at 180ºC (350ºF) but, if you lower the temperature to 150ºC (300ºF), despite taking longer to roast, it has the advantage of enhancing the flavors much more and the meat gets more tender.

3. If you have leftovers, store the meat in the fridge in a properly covered container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms). To avoid drying out the meat, do not reheat the food in the oven, reheat it in the microwave.
