Herbivore Crusted Pork Loin with Parmesan Jasmine Rice
Spicin' and Dicin'
Flavoring your world - one spice blend at a time.
It’s hard for me to NOT use our Herbivore seasoning every single night. It’s good on so many things! If I had to guess, I will probably end up having more recipes that use this blend than any others. I can’t help it.
Herbivore is PERFECT for pork. You really can’t over-season with it in this recipe. My kids devoured this pork and I know it will be a hit with your family as well.
It’s very easy to over cook your pork….I know, I have done it more times than I can count! I highly recommend having a meat thermometer to know for sure when your pork loin is cooked. 145 is the perfect temperature, then you’ll want to let it rest for a few more minutes before slicing it.
Total Time: 55 mins (includes resting time)
Servings: 4-5
INGREDIENTS
1 standard size pork loin filet (1-2lbs is average)
2 cups jasmine rice
2-3 Tbsp Herbivore Steak Seasoning
2 Tbsp salted butter
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Generously rub Herbivore seasoning over pork loin (2-3 Tbsp). Make sure all sides are well covered.
Heat large pan or skillet to med-hi. Melt 1 Tbsp butter in pan. Place pork loin in pan and cook 3-4 minutes on all sides. Each side should be well-browned when you turn the loin.
Place loin on baking sheet and bake in oven for 15 minutes. Turn loin over and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145-150 degrees F.(For well-done pork, cook until temperature reaches 160 degrees F.)
While pork is cooking, heat a large pot to med-hi (for best flavor, use same pot you seared the pork in - if deep enough). Add remaining tbsp of butter and Idaho wit tha Flava Seasoned Salt (regular salt is fine, but our seasoned salt will give your rice a hint of onion and garlic flavor. It is delicious!) Pour in rice and stir until coated. Add 4 cups of water and heat to boil. Cover pot and reduce heat to simmer. Cook rice 10-12 minutes until tender and can be easily flaked with a fork.
Remove lid and stir. The rice should have absorbed most of the water at this point. It's alright if there's a little water still, the cheese will help give it a sauce-like consistency. Add parmesan cheese and stir until combined. Salt to taste.
Remove pork loin from oven and allow to rest for 3-4 minutes until serving. Slice into 1/2 inch slices and serve with rice and your choice of vegetables (green beans pictured above).
