We are getting our pork on, thanks to Smithfield! All recipes and opinions are my own, so enjoy, and thank you for supporting the sponsors who support A Simple Pantry!
Now, I know I already you guys to forget about the turkey, but now I am going to tell you to forget about the ham and focus on this amazing Herbed Mayonnaise Roasted Pork Loin instead.
It’s kind of like Thanksgiving married Christmas and this dinner is their gift to the world.
OK, so maybe I sound a little pompous. That’s mostly in jest, but in all seriousness, this meal is literally the 💣.
THE 💣.
And it is literally super simple as well. I cooked this whole meal on a single sheet pan.
Do you see that amazing crust? That color? Can you imagine the smell of it roasting, with fresh herbs releasing their herb-y goodness into the meat?
I’m drooling over here just thinking about it.
In all honesty, the first time I tried this herbed mayo was when I made the Thanksgiving turkey in San Antonio in 2015. It was my husband who found the recipe here, and I instantly fell in love.
That turkey was the best turkey I had ever had, regardless of the fact that Rudy poked a hole in the roasting pan and nearly set our apartment on fire. That is a story for another day, I’m afraid.
But anyway! I thought to myself, wouldn’t it taste amazing with a Smithfield Original Recipe Marinated Fresh Pork Loin Filet?
YES! Yes, it would.
And now I have brought this herbed mayonnaise roasted pork loin here for you to enjoy, because seriously, amazing.
