Ingredients

8 ounces plain, nonfat yogurt
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 3-pound boneless pork loin
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons mustard seeds

Steps:

Combine the yogurt, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the salt and pepper in a small bowl. Place the pork loin in a shallow baking dish and coat well with the yogurt mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Let the pork stand at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wipe the marinade off of the pork and place in a roasting pan. Combine the sugar and mustard seeds and coat the pork with the mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Roast for 1 hour 20 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees and continue roasting until the pork reaches 145 to 150 degrees on a meat thermometer and the top is crisp, about 10 minutes longer. Let stand for 15 minutes, cut into slices and serve with the pan juices.
