Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork loin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups rhubarb
• 0.33 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the rhubarb, honey, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and water. Stir to combine and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until the rhubarb softens and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 5

Return the pork loin to the skillet, spooning some of the rhubarb mixture over the top. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 6

Roast the pork loin for 45-50 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Serve the pork loin sliced, topped with the rhubarb sauce, and garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
