Ingredients

3 pounds - pork loin roast
1 tsp - salt
1 tsp - black pepper
1 ½ tablespoons - olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons - ground cumin
1 tsp - coriander
1 tsp - garlic powder
1 tsp - dried thyme
½ cup - vermouth
¾ cup - chicken stock
½ cup - heavy cream
1 tbsp - dijon mustard
2 teaspoons - fresh thyme
½ tsp - salt
½ tsp - black pepper

Instructions

Season the pork loin evenly with the salt and pepper on all sides and allow to come to room temperature for about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the olive oil, cumin, coriander, garlic powder and thyme in a small bowl. Rub the mixture evenly on the pork loin on all sides and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake the roast for 30 minutes or until browned, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and continue roasting another 30 minutes or so until a thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers 145 degrees. Begin checking for doneness after 45 minutes to ensure that the roast does not over cook, and tent with foil if it begins to brown too quickly. Add 1/2 cup water to the pan if the juices begin to burn at any time.
Remove from heat, tent with foil and allow the roast to rest for a minimum of 10 minutes. Slice, serve and enjoy!
