Roasted pork loin is a delicious and easy-to-prepare recipe, the ideal dish for a party with friends. But watch out: this cut of meat can become a bit dry, so here I share a couple of cooking tricks that keep it very juicy.

Method

  1. The night before, place the pork loin in a dish. Add salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, crushed garlic, and a little oil, and place a few bay leaves on top.

  2. If you wish, make small holes in the meat and insert pieces of garlic and spices into them.
  3. Add the juice of the lemon (or sour orange) and the onion cut into julienne. Cover everything and let it rest in the refrigerator until the next day.
  4. Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
  5. Peel the potatoes and cut them into rounds.
  6. Put a little oil on the bottom of the tray, place the potato rounds and season with salt and pepper. Place the marinated pork loin on top.

  7. Cover everything with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour at 200 °C.

  8. After that time, check the doneness of the meat. Uncover it, baste it with the juices it has released, and let it cook for 20 more minutes.
  9. During those 20 minutes, repeat the basting with its juices at least two times so it does not dry out at the end.

  10. Turn off the oven and let the pork loin rest in the residual heat while you set the table.
  11. Serve it already sliced into slices, over the potatoes, to distribute the portions easily. Enjoy!
