Ingredients

• 3 pounds pork loin roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 15-ounce cans canned white beans, drained and rinsed
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels and season it all over with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the pork roast on all sides until it is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring the broth to a simmer.

Step 7

Stir in the white beans and dried cranberries, mixing to combine.

Step 8

Nestle the seared pork roast back into the skillet, spooning some of the bean and cranberry mixture over the top of the meat.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for 60 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the lid or foil and continue roasting for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Garnish the pork roast and bean mixture with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
