Pork loin is a versatile cut of meat, suitable for any occasion – from a weeknight family dinner to a dinner party with friends. Adding juniper berries to the pork loin recipe adds a unique flavor to the dish, making it better than any other pork recipe. Juniper berries have a pleasant piney flavor and aroma that works well with the natural sweetness of the pork. Here’s how to make a delicious pork loin with juniper recipe.

Ingredients:
– 2 lbs. of pork loin
– 1 tbsp. juniper berries
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
– 1 tbsp. honey
– 1 tsp. salt
– 1 tsp. black pepper
– 2 tbsp. olive oil

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a pestle and mortar or spice grinder, grind the juniper berries to a coarse powder. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, pepper, and the ground juniper berries and mix well.
4. Rub the pork loin with the mixture, ensuring it’s coated evenly all around the meat. You may want to use gloves as the mixture might stain your hands or use a small brush for better application.
5. Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork loin to the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until a crust forms.
6. Once seared, transfer the pork loin to a baking tray and roast it in the preheated oven for around 30-40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork loin reaches 145°F. The roasting time might vary slightly depending on the thickness of the pork loin.
7. Once done, remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. The resting time is crucial in ensuring that the juices are redistributed evenly and that the meat stays juicy and tender.
8. Slice the pork loin and serve it on a plate. You can pair it with your favorite vegetables and a light salad.
