Ingredients
pork shoulder or pork loin roast pork shoulder or pork loin roast
Dijon mustard Dijon mustard
lemon zest lemon zest
garlic powder garlic powder
olive oil olive oil
salt and pepper salt and pepper

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F); brush the roast with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Mix the mustard, lemon zest, and garlic powder; generously coat the roast with this mixture.
  3. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan and cook for 60–70 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 63–65°C (145–150°F) for juicy meat; cover if the surface browns too quickly.
  4. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes under aluminum foil before slicing thinly.
  5. Serve with a reduced pan juice sauce (deglaze the roasting pan with a little water or broth and reduce) and steamed green vegetables.

Variants
  • Add Herbes de Provence or rosemary under the mustard for a more Provençal flavor.

Tips
  • Use a thermometer to avoid overcooking; letting it rest ensures clean slicing.
