Equipment

  • Deep tray
  • Mortar and pestle
  • Non-stick frying pan
  • Oven
  • Plastic wrap

Ingredients

  • 1 medium or large pork loin
  • 20 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup 240 ml of sour orange juice
  • 1 cup 240 ml of sweet orange juice
  • ½ cup 120 ml of white wine
  • 1 tablespoon of white peppercorns
  • ½ tablespoon of thyme
  • ½ tablespoon of bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • ¼ cup 60 ml of olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients for the marinade

  • Peel the garlic cloves and crush them in a mortar with a pinch of salt until you achieve a paste. Set aside. Also crush the peppercorns.

Step 2: Mix the marinade

  • In a deep tray or container, combine the sour and sweet orange juices, white wine, thyme, bay leaf, cumin, crushed garlic, salt, and olive oil. Mix well.

Step 3: Prepare the pork loin

  • Puncture the pork loin with a sharp knife to allow the marinade to penetrate better. Rub the marinade over the meat with your fingers to ensure it is fully coated.

Step 4: Let it marinate

  • Place the pork loin in the container with the marinade, cover it with plastic wrap, or use a plastic bag to ensure the marinade covers it completely. Refrigerate overnight or, if short on time, at least 30 minutes before cooking.

Step 5: Sear the pork loin

  • Remove the pork loin from the refrigerator and pat it dry slightly. In a non-stick frying pan, sear the meat over medium-high heat until all sides are golden.

Step 6: Bake the pork loin

  • Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Place the pork loin on a baking tray, cover it with aluminum foil, and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63 °C (145 °F). Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loin to check.

Step 7: Rest and serve

  • Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with potatoes, vegetables, rice, fried root vegetables, or any side dish of your choice.
