The cold weather in South Florida has us longing for warming, home cooked meals. Pork loin is a great choice because once you’ve dressed it and popped it in the oven, you can get a lot done around the house while it cooks, or even fit in some exercise. This is a simple, classic recipe combining mustard and herbs. Many people may see mustard as just a condiment. But mustard is made from mustard seeds, which are part of the cruciferous vegetable family and offer anti inflammatory effects similar to its broccoli, Brussels sprout, and cabbage relatives. Three ounces of pork loin provides 23 grams of high quality protein, which is important for gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and lap band patients. You can change the fresh herbs you use to suit your taste. If you don’t like rosemary, try sage instead. Best of all, this is a recipe the whole family can enjoy, or it will provide you with great leftovers that can be eaten warm or cold.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup grainy mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
