Delicate Herb-Seasoned Pork Loin

Ingredients

• ½ cup white wine
• ½ cup fresh lime juice
• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1 (2 pound) boneless pork loin roast
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 4 potatoes, cut into large chunks
• 4 carrots, cut into chunks
• 1 onion, cut into chunks

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together the white wine, lime juice, water, olive oil, thyme, cilantro, black pepper, marjoram, and dill. Pour this marinade into a large resealable plastic bag, add the pork loin, squeeze out the air, and seal it up. Make sure the pork is fully coated in the marinade, then place the bag in a bowl and pop it in the fridge to marinate for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you have the time.

Step 2

When you’re ready to cook, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Take the pork out of the marinade, giving it a little shake to get rid of any extra liquid but keeping the herbs that are sticking on. Sear the pork in the hot pan, browning all sides—it should take about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Then transfer the pork to your slow cooker.

Step 3

Pour the chicken broth over the pork, and tuck the potatoes, carrots, and onion around the meat. Set the slow cooker to high and let everything cook until the pork is tender, which usually takes about 4 hours.
