Pork loin in the sleeve in the oven

The preparation of this masterpiece of culinary art consists of several stages.

So, the first stage is the preparation of the marinade for the loin:

1. Put marjoram leaves, garlic, ground black pepper, olive oil and salt in a mortar / blender bowl and rub / grind.

The second stage will be the preparation of the loin:

2. It is worth noting here that you need to buy a whole piece, and not cut into portions. Wash the loin, dry it with a paper towel and cut it to the bone in such a way that you get a kind of "accordion".

The third stage is pickling:

3. Rub the prepared loin with marinade, place it in a bowl, tighten the film and send it to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, optimally - for the whole night.

The fourth stage of cooking is baking:

4. Put the oven to warm up to 180 degrees and take care of the meat.
5. Put the loin in a baking bag or sleeve, place the meat on a baking sheet, pour the remains of the marinade and freshly squeezed orange juice on the meat.
6. Put the loin in the oven for 60 minutes.

While the meat is baking, you can proceed to the fifth stage - the preparation of the glaze:

7. To do this, mix honey, lemon juice, olive oil and paprika in a bowl until a homogeneous emulsion.

The sixth and final stage is the glazing of the loin:

8. Remove the meat from the oven, but do not turn it off. Carefully, so as not to get burned by steam, cut off the top of the sleeve or baking bag.
9. Using a brush, apply the glaze mixture to the meat and send it to the oven for 12-15 minutes. Repeat this procedure 3-4 times for 60-75 minutes. As a result, you should get a ruddy and fragrant crust. In total, the meat should spend 120-135 minutes in the oven, depending on the thickness of the portions.

Carefully transfer the loin to a platter, garnish with marjoram leaves and serve.

Bon appetit!
