Ingredients

• 1 kg Pork loin (trimmed of all visible fat)
• 5 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 3 pieces Carrots (cut into large chunks)
• 3 pieces Celery stalks (cut into large chunks)
• 1 piece Onion (cut into quarters)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, olive oil, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a herb paste.

Step 3

Rub the herb paste all over the pork loin, ensuring it is well coated for maximum flavor.

Step 4

In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, then sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 5

Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside. Add the carrots, celery, and onion to the skillet, allowing them to lightly caramelize for 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Return the pork loin to the skillet, placing it on top of the vegetables. Pour the lemon juice and low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth over the pork and vegetables.

Step 7

Cover the skillet or roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil, and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Roast the pork loin for approximately 60 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 9

Remove the lid or foil for the final 10-15 minutes of cooking to allow the pork to brown nicely on top.

Step 10

Once cooked, transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices and ensures a tender roast.

Step 11

Serve the pork loin slices with the roasted vegetables and a drizzle of the cooking juices from the pan. Enjoy!
