Ingredients

2 garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves or 1 teaspoon dried sage
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (2 1/2-pound) center cut boneless pork loin, trimmed of all visible fat
1/2 cup Parsley Shallot Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Mash the garlic and salt together with a fork until it forms a coarse paste. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the oil, fresh herbs and freshly ground pepper. Rub the garlic-herb paste all over the pork. Transfer the pork to a roasting pan and roast for 1 1/4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the roast to a carving board and let rest for 15 minutes. Carve the pork into slices and serve with the sauce.

1 1/2 cups lightly packed flat-leaf parsley leaves

2 tablespoons coarsely chopped shallot

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons water

Wow!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

An easy weeknight supper, but also worthy of serving for a holiday dinner. The parsley-shallot sauce was tasty (but the pork... tastes great without it too). The meat was very moist. I used dried herbs, but I'm guessing it would be even better with fresh herbs. Read more

This was fantastic. I added a little bit of dry reisling wine to the roasting pan and slow cooked it over 3 hours at 200... degrees. My husband loved it! The parsley shallot sauce was so perfectly seasoned!Read more

Yummy Yummy Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I did not make the shallot sauce, but I'm going to give this recipe 5 stars for the herb paste. Using a combined mixture of... sage, rosemary and thyme created a heavenly smell in my kitchen. I used a 3.5 pound pork loin and tripled the amount of herbs and garlic. I glad I did because I don't believe the amount of herbs in the recipe would be enough from my roast. I poured some white wine at the bottom of the pan along with some chopped onions and carrots. Also, I placed the herb paste on the pork loin 24 hours prior to cooking the roast. I made a gravy using the pan drippings, chicken stock and corn starch. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks Ellie.Read more

Gourmet Dinner
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I always hesitate to prepare new recipes during the Holidays before test driving them first but this was a total success.... This is a delicious and elegant dinner and it came out perfect. The Shallot sauce was a nice and refreshing variance off the traditional gravy normally served with pork roast. This will become a new tradition to my holiday meals and I give it a thumbs up and a 5 star rating.Read more

Delicious & super easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I brined (soak in water w/ 1/2 cup salt) the pork for about 5 hrs prior to roasting it in the oven. I also used dried herbs... and skipped the sauce. For my "gravy" I scraped the garlicky bits left over in the pan and tossed in a frying pan with some olive oil and a dash of balsamic vinegar. The meat was so tender and flavorful...served it with corn on the cob and mashed potatoes. This was one of the easiest and most delicious meals ever - thanks Ellie!Read more
