Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and pepper to create a smooth marinade.
  2. Place the boneless pork loin in a shallow baking dish and coat it thoroughly with the yogurt mixture, ensuring all sides are covered.
  3. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  4. Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking to ensure even roasting.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  6. Wipe the excess marinade off the pork loin using paper towels and place the meat in a roasting pan.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and mustard seeds, then press this mixture firmly onto the top and sides of the pork loin to form a crust.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the top of the pork.
  9. Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
  10. Increase the oven temperature to 450ðF (230ðC) and continue roasting for about 10 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and the internal temperature reaches 150ðF to 160ðF (65ðC to 71ðC).
  11. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the accumulated pan juices.
