Ingredients

1.5 kg Whole pork loin
3-4 Garlic cloves
4 tbsp Homemade ketchup
Olive oil
Salt
Black pepper
Sweet paprika
Optional: carrots, potatoes, rosemary

Instructions

First, let’s prepare the marinade. For this, we need to make a mixture of olive oil, salt, black pepper, sweet paprika and crushed garlic cloves;
Once mixed together, add the homemade ketchup and incorporate it into the mixture made earlier;
Now, clean and wash the whole pork loin with cold water and use paper towels to absorb excess water from the surface of the meat;
Sprinkle salt, black pepper and sweet paprika over the pork loin;
Then, start brushing the meat with the marinade until you cover every spot;
Place the pork loin covered with marinade in a sealed bag or in a bowl covered with lid and place it into the refrigerator overnight;
TIP: If you want to make a rolled pork loin filled with vegetables, you have to cut the meat so that you get a strip of meat, which you can later roll and fill with sauteed vegetables;
Now, let’s start to cook this whole pork loin. First of all, place the iron cast pot on the stove and heat it.
Then, place a tsp of lard or pour 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in the heated iron cast pot;
Place the marinated pork loin into the iron cast pot and let it fry for 2-3 minutes on each side;
Meanwhile, preheat the oven at 170℃ (338℉);
Once the pork loin gets a brown crust on every side, pour 1 glass of water and add 2 bay leaves into the pot;
Cover the iron cast pot with the lid and place it into the preheated oven;
Cook the pork loin for 3 Hours at 170℃ (338℉); Once or twice, during the cooking process, lift the lid and grease the meat with its own juice from the pot;
If you want to cook roasted pork loin with veggies, during the cooking of the roasted pork loin, peel and cut into cubes some potatoes and carrots, season them with olive oil, salt, black pepper and rosemary and place them into the iron cast pot from the oven in the last hour of cooking;
In the last 20 minutes of the cooking time, remove the lid and roast the pork loin;
Leave the roasted pork loin to cool for at least 30 minutes before starting to slice it;
Serve the roasted pork loin with veggies and a pickled salad.
