Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork loin
• 8 pieces fresh figs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and rub it all over with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the pork loin on all sides until it is golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the garlic cloves (minced) and fresh rosemary. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the honey, balsamic vinegar, and chicken stock to the skillet. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Slice the figs in half and arrange them around the skillet. Return the seared pork loin to the center of the skillet, spooning some of the glaze over the meat.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the glaze every 10-15 minutes.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork loin to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

While the pork rests, add the butter and lemon juice to the skillet over medium heat. Stir to create a smooth and glossy sauce.

Step 11

Slice the pork loin and serve with the figs and the sauce drizzled on top. Enjoy!
