Ingredients
For the Pork:
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 3-pound boneless pork loin roast
For the Sauce:
- 6 ounces (about 3 cups) chanterelle mushrooms, stems trimmed, halved if large
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 1/4 cup cognac or other brandy
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Potato salad and cabbage, for serving*
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare the pork: Whisk the thyme, rosemary, garlic, mustard and vegetable oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
Rub the pork liberally with the herb-mustard mixture, then place fat-side up on a rack set inside a heavy-bottomed roasting pan. Roast until the pork is caramelized and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the sauce: Pour off all but 2 tablespoons drippings from the roasting pan, then heat on the stove over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until caramelized, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the shallots and cook until translucent, about 2 more minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cognac, then return to the heat and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer until almost all of the liquid has evaporated. Whisk in the stock, mustard and thyme. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cream and butter and gently boil until thickened. Add the parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
Slice the pork into 12 pieces and drizzle with the sauce.
*Serve with German Potato Salad and Braised Red Cabbage.

This is incredibly delicious! I made it to the recipe - no alterations. It was easy and so tasty. We had it with a wonderful pinot noir from Oregon - perfect!!! I served it with baked sweet potatoes and a quinoa and fava bean pilaf.
