Ingredients

  • 2-3 pound pork loin
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground back pepper
  • 2 large apples peeled and chopped
  • 1 large red onion peeled and chopped
  • 2 large carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 large sweet potato peeled and chopped
  • 4 large cloves garlic peeled and chopped
  • 4 large sage leaves chopped - or 1/2 teaspoon dried
  • 4 large sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
  • Sprinkle the pork loin with salt and pepper and set aside
  • Peel and chop the onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, carrots and apples and have them ready to go along with the sage and thyme - pretty, right?
  • Combine all the vegetables and apples with the sage and cumin in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and give it a stir
  • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large dutch oven and sear the pork roast on both sides - about 4-5 minutes per side
  • Once the pork is seared, spread the vegetable/apple mix around the pork and toss in the thyme sprigs (or sprinkle with the dried thyme)
  • Roast the pork and vegetables until the center of the pork reaches 145 degrees - between 35 and 45 minutes - start checking early, as you don't want to overcook it
  • Remove the pork roast to a platter and the vegetables to a bowl and let rest while you make the sauce
  • Add the apple cider vinegar to the pot and deglaze the pan, scrapping up all the lovely brown bits along the way
  • Add the chicken broth to the pan and bring to a boil. Simmer until the sauce has thickened and reduced a bit
  • Serve the pork, sauce and vegetables to all your favorite people - this one's a winner!
