Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
In a small bowl, mix together Olive Oil (4 Tbsp), Sea Salt (2 Tbsp), Simply Organic® Black Pepper (1 tsp), Balsamic Vinegar (2 Tbsp), Simply Organic® Garlic Powder (1 Tbsp), Simply Organic® Onion Powder (1 tsp), and Italian Seasoning (2 Tbsp).
step 2
Place the Boneless Pork Loin (3 lb) on a foil-lined sheet tray. Pour the balsamic vinegar mixture over the pork.
step 3
Place in an oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Cook the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (60 degrees C ). If the top of the pork begins to burn, tent a piece of foil over the pork.
step 4
When the pork has reached your desired doneness, remove it from the heat and allow it to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
step 5
While the pork is resting, make the pesto by placing the Kale (4 cups), Lemon Juice (1), Red Onion (1), Garlic (1 Tbsp), Pepitas (1/2 cup), Shredded Parmesan Cheese (1/2 cup), Salt (1 Tbsp), Ground White Pepper (1 tsp), and Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1/2 cup) in a food processor. Pulse until it has reached your desired consistency.
step 6
Slice the pork thinly and serve with pesto and your favorite pasta recipe.
