Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 3-pound boneless, pork loin rolled and tied in one piece
6 sprigs fresh sage
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
3 sprigs thyme
2 1/2 cups strong chicken stock
1/2 cup white wine
Sprigs of sage to garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Chop the garlic and half the sage and insert it in the center of the pork. Squeeze a half lemon over the pork and season the meat with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy casserole or Dutch oven just large enough to hold the loin. Brown the loin on all sides and drain off the fat.
  • Arrange the onion over the bottom of the pan and sprinkle with remaining sage leaves and thyme sprigs. Put the loin on top and add the chicken stock and wine. Cover and cook for an hour. Uncover, turn the oven up to 375 degrees, and let the meat brown for 20 to 30 minutes. Test to see if the meat is done. (It is cooked when an internal temperature of 155 degrees on a meat thermometer is registered.)
  • Remove the pork loin to a serving dish and keep it warm. (You can put it back in the oven, leaving the door ajar.) Skim the fat from the cooking juices and reduce them until thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in a warmed sauce boat. Decorate the pork with sprigs of sage and thyme and serve.

Delicious! The pork was moist and tender, and the sage butter was a perfect addition.

This recipe was a little too bland for my taste. I would add more seasoning next time.

The pork was a little dry, but the sage flavor was amazing. I'll try it again with a different cut of pork.
