Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 garlic cloves, minced
salt & freshly ground black pepper, plus 1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 (3 lb) boneless pork loin, trimmed and tied
3 small fennel bulbs, tops removed
8 carrots, peeled, and thickly sliced diagonally
10 small potatoes, cut in quarters (red or white-skinned)
2 yellow onions, thickly sliced

  • Remove the meat from the pan and return the vegetables to the oven to keep cooking.
