- 1 kg pork loin
- 5 large potatoes
- 1 onion
- 5 cloves of garlic
- Salt, pepper, cumin, oregano and bay leaf
- 1 large lemon or sour orange
The night before roasting, place the piece of tenderloin on a platter. Add salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, crushed garlic, oil and add some bay leaves. If you wish, you can make small holes in the piece of meat and insert pieces of garlic and seasonings.
Also add the lemon juice and the julienned onion. Cover everything and let it rest in the refrigerator until the next day.
Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into rounds. Add a little oil to the bottom of your tray and place the potato wheels. Season them with salt and pepper and place the piece of meat marinated from the night before on them.
Cover everything with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour at 200ºC. After this time, check the cooking point of the meat. Uncover it, bathe it with the juice released during cooking and let it cook for 20 more minutes.
Repeat the operation of bathing it with its juice at least twice. This will prevent it from drying out at the last minute. Turn off the oven and let the tenderloin roast rest in the residual heat of the oven while you set the table.
I suggest you present the pork loin previously cut, because it will be easier to distribute the portions. But this is up to you.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. Enjoy your meal!!
