  • Start by making the tangerine sauce: in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the freshly squeezed tangerine juice with the soy sauce and chili sauce (you can use chili powder instead), the wine vinegar, honey, garlic pressed through a garlic press, salt, and pepper. Put the mixture over medium heat, bring to a boil, and reduce it by half, stirring; then strain it. Next, prep the meat: preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C); get the skillet good and hot; and sear the whole loin in vegetable oil on all sides over high heat until golden, to keep all the juices inside. In other words, you're not cooking the pork through here — just "sealing" it, searing the outside to a crust while it stays raw in the middle. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Line a baking dish with foil, set the meat in it, and brush it with the sauce on all sides. Now for the roasting: put the meat in the oven for 20 minutes; take it out, lower the temperature to 350°F (180°C), brush with more sauce, and roast for another 20 minutes; brush with sauce again, lower the temperature to 340°F (170°C), and bake for another 25 minutes; brush once more and roast for a final 25 minutes. Transfer the finished pork loin to a platter and arrange halved fresh fruit (tangerines and kiwi) around it, then garnish with parsley. Serve the oven-roasted pork loin hot. Enjoy, and happy holidays!
