Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 whole heads garlic
- 3 tablespoons honey
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil; add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Transfer the pork to a cutting board.
2. Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the butter, thyme, parsley, rosemary, and garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the panko and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until the panko is golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer the toasted breadcrumbs to a piece of wax or parchment paper.
3. Brush the pork with 2 tablespoons of the mustard and roll in the toasted breadcrumbs to coat. Return the coated pork to the skillet. Halve the garlic heads crosswise and add to the skillet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pork and garlic to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, place the skillet over medium-low heat. Add the honey, remaining 1/3 cup mustard, and 1/4 cup water and stir until combined. Simmer until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Slice the pork and serve with the roasted garlic and the mustard sauce.

Delicious! The panko and herb with mustard sauce is scrumptious. I mixed dijon and pommery mustards and the fresh herbs compliment the loin. Garlic heads were dry but all in all - an economical tasty meal - will make this again.

I made it exactly as instructed, and it tuned out very moist and flavorful. My only complaint was that the garlic heads were dry and the amount of sauce made was totally insufficient; hence the four stars. So don't count on those two components to make the dish. Next time I may wrap the garlic in foil with a little olive oil and make way more sauce.
