Spicy Roasted Pork Loin

I love pork loin. They are juicy, delicious and most importantly, easy to make. Let's not forget that they are also SUPER lean and can be easily incorporated into a healthy diet. I've tried several different types of rubs and sauce combinations for loins in the past and the below is one of my favorites.

Spray a baking dish with Pam, place your pork loin in the pan and add all of the ingredients below as well.
  • 2 tbs low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbs Thai chili paste (for some HEAT)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic (from jar)
  • 2 tbs spicy brown mustard
  • pinch sea salt
  • pinch cayenne
  • Black pepper to taste (how ever much you like, I LOVE lots of pepper)
Now get in there and get your hands dirty. Rub the loin in this mixture and massage it really well making sure to blend all of the flavors and ingredients together. Good cooks get dirty. Well I know I do. Each and every time. ;)

Once your massage session is done, cover the baking dish with foil, pierce a few holes in the foil and pop it in a 400 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.

See how easy that was? When you take the loin out of the oven, let it sit for a few minutes before slicing to let the juices redistribute. I usually slice mine into 1/2 inch thick slices. Make sure to use the leftover sauce from the pan to dress the slices. It's delicious!

ENJOY!


For those of you counting Weight Watchers points, 2 oz of pork = 3 points.
