Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds boneless loin of pork
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons powdered sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1/4 pound shelled pecan halves

Steps:

  • Rub the pork loin with olive oil, making sure that it is well covered. Combine the sage, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper and brown sugar in the bowl of a food processor or blender and pulse until you have a thick paste. You may have to add a drizzle of olive oil to get it started. Slather the paste all over the pork loin, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it over night.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the pecans in the bowl of a food processor or blender and pulse until they are finely chopped. Roll the pork loin in the crushed pecans and place it in a roasting pan. Make a tent of aluminum foil and arrange it over the pork loin, covering the nuts completely so they won't char.
  • Roast for 30 minutes; then lower the heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast. After 1 hour and 20 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and continue to roast until the pork is done, approximately 20 minutes more. Serve hot.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the pork loin was dry and tough. Very disappointed.

This was a great recipe! The pork loin was juicy and flavorful, and the pecan coating was a nice touch. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the pork loin took longer to cook than the recipe stated. Overall, it was a good dish, but I would adjust the cooking time next time.

The pork loin was a bit dry, but the pecan coating was delicious. I think I'll try brining the pork loin next time to see if that helps.
