Ingredients

• 1.5 kg pork loin roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 250 ml chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the pork loin roast and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Crush the garlic cloves and finely chop them. Strip the rosemary and thyme leaves from their stems and chop them finely.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, chopped garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.

Step 5

Rub the herb and spice mixture all over the pork loin, making sure to coat it evenly.

Step 6

Place the pork loin in a roasting pan or shallow baking dish. Drizzle the lemon juice over the meat.

Step 7

Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the pork moist and create a flavorful base for a sauce, if desired.

Step 8

Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F) for a perfect medium doneness. Baste the pork with the pan juices every 20-30 minutes.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Slice the pork loin into thin medallions and serve with your favorite low-carb side dishes such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
