Ingredients

- 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh parsley
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- 1/2 sprig fresh rosemary
- 4 leaves fresh sage
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) chopped fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) butter, softened
- 1 2 lbs (1 kg) pork loin, trimmed of fat
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) Italian-Style breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 cup (250 ml) chicken broth
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) white wine
- 1 shallot, finely chopped

Preparation

- Preheat the oven to 230 ˚C (450 ˚F). Chop the herbs and set aside. Spread the butter on the meat. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the herbs.
- In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and egg. Press that mixture on the herbs.
- Place the pork loin in a 30 x 20-cm (12 x 8-inch) baking dish. Add the broth, wine and shallot. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven’s temperature to 180 ˚C (350 ˚F) and cook for about 25 minutes for medium rare. To cook the pork, the ideal internal temperature with a meat thermometer is 70 ˚C (160 ˚F). As the temperature will continues to rise while the meat rests, remove the meat from the oven when the temperature is about 3 or 4 degrees away. Remove the pork from the baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with the pan juices and vegetables such as Garlic Zucchini.
