Honey Pork Loin with Thyme

And this was the roast pork that made it to our New Year's Day plate alongside Oven Roasted Parmesan Brussels Sprouts, Seared Scallops with Kale and some garlic shrimp. 

Ingredients:

1  1/2 lb boneless pork loin
3-4 tsp fresh thyme leaves (more if you like)
herbed sea salt and black pepper to taste
4 tbsps butter
2 tbsps honey
1/2 cup water

Season the pork  with sea salt, thyme and pepper.

Melt butter and honey together over medium heat then brown each side of the pork for about 5 minutes. 

Once browned spoon any remaining caramelized sauce on top of the pork and add a few more sprigs of thyme. 

Place uncovered in a 375F oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove and keep warm.

Add water to the pan and simmer 5 minutes for a quick au jus. Isn't it lovely?

Serves 4-6
