    Fantastic, moist, delicious! Used a 3 lb boneless pork loin and cut the sauce down to 1/3 of the original recipe and still had plenty leftover. Will definitely make again! : Baked mine for 55 minutes, 140 degrees internal temp as recommended.

    This recipe was once again incredible. Thanks Ina for always having my "go to" recipes.. even when impromptu friends for dinner is just hours away and I haven't even shopped yet. It was lovely and will definitely make it again! As other post, in a quick pinch didn't find the peppercorns at Whole Foods so had to use white coarsely ground pepper instead. Still was wonderful. Will make again with mail order green/ brined peppercorns. Simply Lovely!

    I live in Houston and it is about 20 degrees here tonight. I needed some great stuff to prepare and kill some time. This pork loin was the best I have ever had.
    The topping is heaven and it was juicy cooked to perfection! I also prepared the herbed new potatoes and the carmelized shallots. I am a good cook,hard on myself at times, but I found nothing negative about anything I made. The shallots tasted like candy they were so good. I also made Ina's apple cake tatin. It is waiting for me now. It was all Ina tonight...
    I could not find the green peppercorns in brine at Whole Foods, so I bought some and soaked them in a touch of chardonnay. Perfection! Try these items. They are showstoppers! I will make this again for Easter. Can't wait!
    So delicious.

    I made this recipe for my parents for a Christmas Eve dinner. It was easy and came out perfectly. Only thing I did differently was in the carving. I cut the whole thing off the ribs and sliced it rather than serving it bone-on. Paired it with Tyler Florence's scalloped potatoes and they went together fantastically. As with all of Ina's recipes, you may want to cut back a bit on the salt.

    This recipe is my number one all-time favorite. It has been in my repertoire for years and is always a show-stopper. Ina is a master of good taste and presentation. You can not go wrong with this recipe; it is both impressive and downright delectable. The mustard, olive oil, salt mixture is right on target, who knew?! I recall the first time I asked my grocery butcher to french and tie the meat he looked at me like I was crazy... he went back in the back and got an older gentleman to explain to him what it was I wanted... Enjoy!!

    We made this for New Year's Eve and it was a hit. Couldn't find the green peppercorns so we substituted capers. Used a nice Pinot Grigio for the wine.

    This made a lot of sauce, so I reserved some and put it in the freezer for the next batch.


    Love it!

    I had never attempted Loin of Pork and given how pricy the cut can be I was quite intimidated. However after viewing this episode, I was swayed by how simple it looked. I tried it and it was out of this world!! My husband who is very picky was so delighted. The taste was wonderful. I made it for the two of us so only purchased 5 loin of pork chops, I just cut down a bit on the amount of sauce I used and I cut the salt in half. PERFECT!! WAY TO GO CONTESSA!!!

    Congratulations on this excellent recipe. It certainly reflects your consistently high recipe standards.
    If I may offer a "no-brainer" suggestion to readers: be sure to check the temperature accuracy of your oven. I did not do this and it took the roast a bit longer than expected to cook. I always use a meat thermometer, which as we all know, "saved-the-day."
