Time 7h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons mustard seeds
1 tablespoon juniper berries
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup kosher salt
2 cups water
1 bunch fresh thyme leaves
2 bay leaves
1 (4 to 5 pound) bone in pork loin roast
Extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small dry skillet over medium heat toast the coriander, mustard seeds, juniper berries, and peppercorns until fragrant, about 1 minute. Put them on a plate to cool. In a bowl mix the sugar and salt with 2 cups of water until dissolved. Put the pork roast into a deep bowl or a large plastic bag. Pour in the sugar and salt water. Add the toasted spices, thyme, and bay leaves. Add more water until the meat is covered. Let it sit in the brine in the refrigerator for 2 to 6 hours.
  • Remove the pork roast from the brine about 1/2 hour before you will be ready to cook it to allow it to come up to room temperature. When ready to cook, heat a grill to high heat. Dry the pork, rub it with olive oil, and season it with pepper. Sear the pork on all sides to get grill marks. Move the roast to an upper rack (or over indirect heat) and put a drip pan underneath it. Cook the pork until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, about 30 to 45 minutes. Remove to a platter, cover loosely with foil, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Before carving, add any accumulated juices to the drippings in the pan. Spoon these over the sliced pork.

This recipe was a flop. The pork loin was tough and the roasted vegetables were bland.

The pork loin was a bit dry, but the roasted vegetables were delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork loin came out a little dry. I think I might try brining it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This was my first time brining pork loin, and I'm so glad I tried it. The meat was so tender and flavorful.

I've made this recipe several times now and it always comes out delicious. The brine really makes a difference in the flavor of the pork.

This recipe was so easy to follow and the pork loin turned out perfectly juicy and flavorful. I served it with roasted potatoes and asparagus, and it was a hit with my family.
