  • 2 lbs of pork loin
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of dried Italian seasoning
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons of Kosher salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions:

Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Take the pork loin and drizzle it with olive oil. Rub it with the 2 teaspoons salt, pepper and dried Italian seasoning. Heat a large skillet on high heat and olive oil. Sear all sides of the loin until golden brown and place on a roasting pan.

In a large bowl, toss all the vegetables and apples together with a drizzle of olive oil, 1/2 tsp of salt and a pinch of dried Italian seasoning.

Surround the loin with the apple and vegetable mixture. Pour the apple juice and chicken stock over the veggies, apples and loin and cover with foil or parchment paper.
